08-06-2013, 11:47 AM
The details have been set for the MGO east side RSO class. It will be held on Sunday August 18th at Gander Mountain in Novi and will begin at 10am and go until 4pm. This class will be offerred at NO CHARGE, PROVIDED that anyone who takes this class volunteers to work at least one of our shooter clinics or fun shoots within one calendar year. I will have a sign up sheet at the class. All materials, and registration fees will be covered. Please PM me to reserve a spot in the class.

Warmest Regards,
Jeff LaFave

Just a few things to note;

There are no fees for the class*

The class is open to all, however,

MGO paying members get preference to the seats in the class, when they are filled they are filled.

You must be 21 to be an RSO, this is a NRA rule. We ask that you be 21 to take the class.

You need not be a NRA member to take the class or become a RSO

Hats, patches, vests are not included with the class.

*The NRA fee is $11 for members, $26 for non-NRA members- MGO is paying the first $11, non-NRA members will have to cover the rest of the fee or become NRA members.

I would love to attend but unfortunately our club is having the annual "shoot off" which is the finale of the youth summer trap league of which my son is a member, on the same day. Hopefully there will be other opportunities to take the RSO class soon.

Of course this would end up as the same day as the race. Guess I'll have to hope for another chance.

All questions are good!

This is the NRA Range Safety Officer ( RSO ) course.
Covers shooting range safety procedures & practices
On the successful completion of the course and test you summit your application fee to the NRA and receive credentials as a certified range safety officer.

MGO is sponsoring this course to further grow a core of RSO's to assist MGO to provide range safety at our fun shoots and at the new shooter education programs.

More information at NRA's web-site; http://training.nra.org/training/become-a-range-safety-officer.aspx

IIRC for NRA members $11 non-members $26 for the first year after that when you renew, you can get a discount for renewing the cert. for multiple years at a time.

Checking into a few things, there may have been some changes to the program and the op will be updated.

I'd like to take this class. I'm not a paying member yet, so if it's already full or I get bumped I understand that preference goes to those who are. I'd be open to volunteering but expect to pay for the class/nra membership.
Please pm to confirm whether I have a space.
Thanks!

See OP for list of who is on the list to take the class. If you have requested to take it, and are not on the list, PM me. Otherwise, you will not have a spot. Remember, members trump non-members if we fill up. I have ordered enough packets for 15 people. I can get more, but only if they register by next Tuesday. If you are a non-member, YOU CAN STILL GET BUMPED after Tuesday if more members sign on for the class up until Saturday. Those 15 packs go to MEMBERS FIRST. So, if we have 10 members and 5 non-members signed up on Tuesday, but 3 members request to take the class between Tuesday and Saturday, then the 3 lowest on the non-member list fall off. That is the benefit of membership in MGO. I just want to be clear with that. Hopefully, by Tuesday I am ordering more packets due to demand, and this is a non-issue, but I cannot guarantee it.

I concur with the post that stated "If this Class is ever offered again
, take it"

Jeff, Great job teaching this class, you kept it flowing nicely and I enjoyed the new information that I learned today.......Even though Luke played dead or wounded way too early!!!!

It was great meeting every1 and finally putting some faces and names together!!

Will there ever be another opportunity like this in the future?

The last one we did was 2 or 3 years ago, so there was quite a gap since we last did one. I would not object to doing another in the winter if you guys can guarantee us at least 10 participants, and I prefer to see 15-30 (I teach them free of charge for MGO, so I want to make sure we're getting a LOT of RSO's before I commit). Additionally, you need to ask the BoD in the "Ask the BoD" section to sponsor another one. This is not a cheap endeavor (student packets, processing fees, certification fees, food for the students, etc...), and we only offer them to get the help we need to pull off our educational shooting clinics to get people involved in the shooting sports. Get a poll together, solicit the students, and ask the BoD. That is the order to get one on the schedule. Keep in mind though, that if the BoD agrees to do it, the participants MUST sign up to help at one or more events within the next year for MGO so that the Org benefits from what was invested in getting you the credentials.

This was the kind of class that every shooter would benefit from, regardless of the certification. Barrettone has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and a great talent for presentation.

I hope the opportunities to serve as RSO are well posted so we can fulfill our end of the bargain. I don't wanna have a year go by and leave this hanging.

I see from that other thread that he has quite a bit on his plate right now, glad I'm not a party to that deal. I just want to be able to use the RSO certification that doesn't actually exist until the NRA says it does...

Ah well, it was good meeting you guys that day anyhow; I don't really have any gun friendly folks in my circle, so the sooner this happens the sooner I can volunteer & meet like-minded folk to practice with!

No worries, I will follow up with Jeff to see where we are in this process! For the record Jeff had to wait for a couple of guys to renew their NRA membership. About your circle of friends, MGO has fun shoots and several MGO sponsored activities where you can hang with great Progun types!! :sniper:

I picked up the packets from Jeff Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m.
He had not added the 5 NRA ID numbers that we needed so I had to make some calls and PM's to get those.

I was going to mail them out this morning and decided to call the NRA to make sure I had everything I needed to send them in, upon talking to the NRA Representative he looked up to see if there had been a "Course Report" sent in, and you guessed it, there wasn't one sent in.

I got in contact with Jeff and told him that without the Course Report being filed online, the NRA would just mail them back to me.

Jeff, was out of town and said he would file the course report this weekend.
I will shoot them out as soon as I get notification that it has been completed.

Jeff requested more information from your packets on Sunday October 12th.

The info he requested was sent to him via e-mail the same day, I had not heard anymore so I sent him a text message this past Sunday, the 19th asking if he had submitted the additional information I sent him.
He replied, " I have been so busy with work and the Upper Refunds that I haven't had time to do anymore on it"

I will keep on him and let you gentlemen know when I have more to report.!!

I have been in contact with the NRA on this matter and have talked to them a couple of times just to make sure what Jeff has told me has been done, has been done. So far everything has been varified that I have been told.

The Course Report has been submitted as He said it was. The NRA needed to have the "Class Roster" submitted and this is why he required more information from me, since I now have the attendees packages from the class.

Jeff, in my opinion is a very good Instructor and keeps his Classes Interesting and informative. I believe he just got caught up in everything and is trying to catch up.

Yep same here. I got my cert from Barry's class at West Walker about 3 weeks after we took the class. I even ordered myself a really cool bright yellow RSO winter beanie hat from the NRA to sport when I'm at da club!

Although now that everything's starting to fall apart around here, I'm not sure what the point was! I guess I can be the RSO when I go shooting with my friend?!

I will notify "American Heritage Gun Shows" that MGO will not be present at their next show and see if I can get a refund of the funds we submitted for Table Rental.

I will check with the Activities Committee Chairman to see if he is aware of your decision to step down from a spot on that Committee.

I haven't gotten mine as of today - but since taking the class I have moved, so I might be waiting for the post office forwarding (even though I did change my address on the NRA member services website). I'll call the NRA if I don't get the cert in the mail in the next couple days.

Hey Mike - I am trying to call the NRA regarding this not being received yet, and I'm not getting anywhere. Can you tell me the contact info for the person you have been talking to? The number I am trying to call is 800-672-3888 ext. 1496.

Try Calling Richard at 703-267-1391 or if you can get an operator ask for Patricia Lewis, She seems like the real go getter there.

Thanks Mike. I was able to speak with Richard, and he informed me that they don't mail out the certs anymore, and that I was supposed to go to nrainstructors.org and print them off. I explained to him that I took my class through MGO, and that the others in my class are receiving their certs in the mail. He said that none of the others should have received anything in the mail either. Strange ...

Anyway, I was able to get registered on the site as I was told, and I did print off my certs, so I guess I am all set anyway!

The certificate is mainly black and white, with a blue watermark of the NRA seal, offset to the right side (only part of the logo is showing on the page).

Apparently Richard didn't know what he was talking about. My color certificate and wallet card came in today's mail :)
