The Club is looking for any member interested in becoming a Range Safety Officer.
A Range Safety Officer is a person who ensures the safe operation of a shooting range. The Range Safety Officer designation is associated with the NRA and “[t]o 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.” Classes are held locally, like an upcoming one at The Northside Sportsmans Association in Warrendale.
Currently the Club has only two such officer and so we would like to add others to that rank. If you are interested in such and willing to take the necessary “nine-hour course [that] consists of classroom time and practical exercises conducted on a range”, please let us know.
If you are currently an NRA member, that would be ideal, as such is required to take the course. But if not an NRA member, please don’t let that deter you from considering this. The Club board (and subsequently a Club membership vote) will consider paying for not only the course but possibly for the necessary NRA membership (again, if you’re not already an NRA member).
If you are at all interested in this please contact one of the board members at an upcoming monthly meeting or reach out to us at: info@richlandsportsmensclub.com
