anarchist 10 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Have him check out www.NRA.org .(and while he is at it his NRA membership status)...The Range safety officer course used to be and 8 or 9 hour course and he may also need some of the basic instructor classes...But a quick call to NRA could set him on the path... they used to hold several different classes in the Altoona area but I am not sure now days where most of the classes are held. good luck!

Snake Eater 10 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I think that the training you are looking for is Range Safety Officer but you'd better confirm that. The web site www.nrahq.org is where you find information on training. If RSO is the course you are looking for then there isn't much to choose from in PA. Here are your best bets from my search...

Region 7 Voyageur 10 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 The Guide to Safe Scouting requires a "Certified Instructor". The NRA offers training for "Range Safety Officers" and "Certified Instructors". I have completed both courses. The certified rifle instructor course that I took was a Friday night through Sunday noon class. The range safety officer class was an all day Saturday affair. I do not believe that being a range safety officer qualifies you as a certified instructor in accordance with the Guide to Safe Scouting.(This message has been edited by Region 7 Voyageur) Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I went to Camp School last year at Hawk Mountain. In a week I became certified NRA in rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader as well as Camp School trained in Archery. Thats the program for Shooting Sports directors and know what? it was fun!
