The NRA has released its most recent update to the NRA Range Development and Operations Online Course. The course is comprised of 12 lessons, including a new module with an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as it pertains to shooting ranges.

“ADA is an important, often overlooked, topic for range owners to be aware of,” said Joe Logar, national manager of NRA Adaptive Shooting Programs. “The overview in the updated Range Development and Operations Online Course provides enough information to be valuable for clubs and ranges, without being overwhelming.”

The online course is designed to educate potential and current range owners and operators in identifying potential problems associated with range development, environmental issues and safety. Students will receive a multidisciplinary perspective on major topics such as: indoor range construction; outdoor range construction; environmental management; sound abatement; community relations; ADA compliance; ventilation; and funding/grants.

“NRA Range Services is pleased to offer this up-to-date online learning opportunity for new and potential range owners,” said Liz Bush, managing director of NRA Community Engagement. “This revised online course expands NRA’s educational offerings while giving range facilitators the tools they need to maintain the highest level of safety possible.”

Registration for the online course is $300. The fee includes downloads of all course materials and a copy of the NRA Range Source Book on USB.

Range Conference
Those interested in establishing a shooting range—or current managers/owners—should also consider attending the NRA Range Development & Operations Conference, which runs July 31 to Aug. 1 in Denver, Colo. The event “… is designed to educate potential and current range owners and operators in identifying potential problems associated with range development, environmental issues, and safety.”

Topics include: business planning; EPA lead standards; construction; sound abatement; ADA compliance; ventilation; funding/grants; NRA programs; and training opportunities. It’s also a great opportunity to network with others in the industry. Registration is $500.
