Hi , ive been looking around the internet and on here for some info on becoming a range officer , like questions and answers or some kind of handbook on it , if anyone can point me in the right direction id appreciate it thanks.

Through your club or contact the NRA direct

I spoke to my club but was hoping to find some info on it I can download or get a handbook myself before the club starts the ball rolling so to speak :)

You can start by downloading the Bisley Bible from the NRA website.
Your club will need to nominate you if you,ve enough experience. Our club has used our range to hold the courses for our members and a few guests. Luckily there are trainers in Scotland!

ok thanks il have a look for the bisley bible :)

Since when?
Ok, if the clubs funding it, but otherwise nowt to do with them...but no doubt an extra RCO would be of use...

Had to re-do mine as it'd lapsed.
Got a question "wrong" on the retest: but THEIR stock answer to that question was wrong.
NRA logic strikes again.

You will receive the RCO handbook when you first attend the course. Although thinking about it, I think it was sent in the post in advance once I was enrolled.

If you want to get a head start with the reading, might be worth asking one of the RCOs at your club if you can borrow theirs.

I'm wrong in using the term "nominate" , I should have checked the correct wording. I will go stand in the corner.

Just back from Bisley too!
