NRA range safety officer certification

Today I completed six lessons and a 50-question test with a 90 percent pass rate to become a certified NRA Range Safety Officer. The program was developed for people who possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.

The six areas of instruction were:

• Introduction to the NRA Basic Range Safety Officer Development Course
• The Role of the NRA Range Safety Officer and Range Standard Operating Procedures
• Range Inspection and Range Rules
• Range Safety Briefing
• Emergency Procedures
• Firearm Stoppages and Malfunctions

Instruction was held at the Greene County (Ohio) Fish and Game Club.
