Description

The NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO) program was developed in response to the demand for a nationally recognized range safety officer certification. To become a NRA Range Safety Officer, you must pass the RSO course and demonstrate that you possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.

An additional fee of $35.00, payable to the NRA, is required  to get your certification registered with the NRA instructor portal. Fee is higher if you are not an NRA member.
