Just a quick note to reflect on the NRA Range Safety Officer course I took over the weekend. My local range is not open to the public and has limited, set openings. Otherwise you have to be RSO certified to shoot there alone, hence my interest in the course (we're also considering "going public" which will require more RSOs).
There were 8 students and one instructor for this all day course that is concluded with an open-book exam which requires a 90% or better to pass. Everyone passed.
The course covers duties, procedures, and includes practical scenarios/exercises. Our instructor had available every type of firearm so we were able to do "hands-on" for that portion of the course. This was particularly helpful for a couple folks who had no experience with ARs or black powder guns.
The most valuable part of the course for me was active scenarios on running a firing line, and how to handle incidents ranging from dangerous behavior to NDs resulting in injury. Safety, it's all about attitude.
Cheers,
