Description
The NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO) Certification Course is a nationally recognized program designed to provide participants with the skills, knowledge, and attitude necessary to organize, conduct, and supervise safe shooting activities and range operations. This training thoroughly prepares individuals to handle RSO responsibilities, enforce range rules, and manage safety effectively. The class is conducted primarily inside the clubhouse, though an actual range environment may be utilized to simulate live RSO activities depending on weather and availability.
