Chief Range Safety Officer (CRSO)

 

A Chief Range Safety Officer is an NRA certified trainer that is appointed by the Board, and comes with very significant responsibilities. The CRSO has overall responsibility for safe firearm handling and shooting on the Range. He or she is responsible for recommending Standard Operating Procedures to determine what activities and actions are approved for our range as a whole. The CRSO is responsible for training Club members to be RSOs for our range and the CRSO schedules RSOs for Club events.
