Good for another year

You have to do it every year? Seems excessive. Not like you'll forget how to RO on Jan 1st... Do they release a new rule book every year or something?
 
After initial certification you have to take a 10 question test once a year

No...that would be IDPA.

Gotcha. That's not such a big deal I guess unless it requires a special trip. Do you have to make a trip to do it or can you do it online? Also, is there a cost?
 
I ask because I'm an NRA certified RO, but have never taken any specific sport RO classes. Just curious...

Right? Does IDPA require a renewal every year for ROs too?

SO's are supposed to renew every two years, but will happen sooner this time due to the new rule book.


ETA: I've been a certified SO since 2003 (I think). There have been more rule changes in the last year than the 15 preceeding years combined.

Are you asking if they charge for the test? No.

The NRA RO program is a freaking joke.

Here's the entire class "Follow the SOP"

The USPSA Level 1 RO class is pretty intense on the rules of the game, etc. It's worth it to get certified if you're at all interested in taking USPSA seriously.

Couldn't agree more. Knowing the rules can and will benefit you as a shooter.

Yes Sir on intense. Taking a class from a dude that wrote the USPSA rulebook was a humbling experience.

The NRA course isn't about shooting sports exactly, just range safety. There aren't any game rules to apply. I've RO'ed a number of games, even helped with USPSA a couple times. I'm not sure I'm interested in taking any of it seriously though. I prefer to just have fun.

You still have an open and standing invitation to come and shoot with us at H2O, by the way. I'll even pay your match fee.
