Solo-Shooter Safety Officer Training - RCRPC Members Only

Description of the course: OPEN TO MEMBERS ONLY. Provides a thorough review of all of the Club's Milton Rifle/Handgun Range Safety Rules, Regulations and Standard Operating Procedures. It also teaches the rules unique to the Solo-Shooter Safety Officer. Each participant will be given a copy of the SSO Training Manual. This training satisfies the Milton Range requirement for a range orientation. There is no written exam, however, participants are quizzed orally during the training.

After the classroom portion of the course is finished, participants will proceed to the Milton Rifle/Handgun ranges to learn the physical aspects of the range and where to find range supplies. In addition, each participant must demonstrate that they can safely operate and discharge a handgun or rifle that they have brought to the training.

Will the student receive a certificate of completion: If successfully completed, participants will be awarded an "SSO" button conferring the privilege to use the Milton Rifle / Handgun range during Club shooting hours without the supervision of an Range Safety Officer. SSO's may shoot by themselves but they may not bring any guests.

We have experienced problems with "no shows" on the training date & this causes difficulties for others who wanted to attend but the training was filled.
