IDPA Range Safety Officer Training

IDPA Safety Officers are the people whose purpose and goal is for all the shooters at the match to have a safe and enjoyable day at the range by directing the shooter through the course of fire ("CoF").  Safety Officers must take a class from an IDPA Safety Officer Instructor, be at least 21, understand the rule book, be an experienced IDPA competitor and be a current member of IDPA in order to be certified.  Others may attend the class in order to get a better understanding of the sport and to be of assistance to the match director at their local club.  The Safety Officer is one of the most vital and visual representatives of IDPA.  Contestants interact with the Safety Officers more than any other official at a match. 

This day long class will cover in detail the following:

  1. Safety Rules
  2. Competition rules
  3. Equipment rules
  4. Range Commands
  5. How to explain a CoF
