Rangemaster Development

$600

If you have been handed the keys to the range, then you need to attend this course! Firearms instructor certification courses typically do not go into great detail about the administrative duties and knowledge needed to successfully operate a shooting range. This 3-day / 24-hour instructor development course is designed to educate lead firearms instructors, training supervisors and police administrators, who are assigned the duties of Rangemaster, on a variety of topics. This helps ensure that range facilities and firearms training programs are operating safely, with reduced liability, and are defensible in court. This is the most comprehensive Rangemaster course available.

This course is only taught by Staff Instructors who have held a Rangemaster supervisory position during their career. This is a classroom / seminar training event that is very interactive and includes many practical exercises.

This course is approved by the NRA LE Division for 24 hours of continuing education credit.
