We are always on the look out for enthusiastic members of the shooting community to assist in running our NRA Competitions. For the majority of the competitions below, we look to create a ‘Range Team’ which contains the following roles:
- Chief Range Officer: 1 per range, in charge of overall range safety, issues the range commands (Required to have an RSO or RCO qualification)
- Range Team: Supports the running of the range by refacing targets, checking clear rifles, working the control box, signing in the next detail of shooters ect.
- Stats: Input all scorecards and produce prizelists over the event weekend
- Event Makers: Assist the Competitions team across all ranges with jobs including providing ranges with tea and coffee, distributing Range Team meals, setting up for prizegivings, assisting with queries on the range
If you are thinking about sign-up to, or have recently taken part in an RSO or RCO course and are wanting to gain on range experience this is a great opportunity for you! Details about specific events and their Range Team perks are listed below. Please direct any queries to competitions@nra.org.uk
