What is the role of a range officer?

• A. To enforce safety rules, supervise the range, and provide instruction and guidance.
• B. To manage the club's finances
• C. To design targets and scoring systems only
• D. To ensure only invited guests shoot

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the range officer is the person responsible for safety and orderly operation on the range. Their job is to enforce safety rules, supervise range activities, and provide instruction and guidance to shooters. This means they ensure proper firearm handling, require eye and ear protection, monitor muzzle direction, manage range commands and ceasefires, and offer help or coaching to shooters so they can practice safely and correctly. The other tasks listed—managing finances, designing targets and scoring, or restricting attendance to invited guests—aren’t duties of a range officer and fall to other roles or committees.
