NRA Range Safety Officer Training (RSO) – The minimum age to become a credentialed NRA RSO is 21, and you must provide a valid and current NRA membership number on the day of the course, or it will hold up submission of a training report until received.  After the instructor submits the training report, applicants will be able to complete the credentialing process online at nrainstructors.org.

The Cost of this course is $75 per person (please see note below), and the Cost of a 2-year credential for NRA members is $35 & $60 for non-NRA members.  If you are not already an NRA member and would like to become one prior to taking this course, it is recommended you call the NRA rather than join online.  If participants do not have a valid NRA number in time for this course, it will complicate the credentialing process.  NRA members will use their membership number to create an account to complete the credentialing process online at nrainstructors.org.  Non-members will receive an email with a number to use.  

The NRA server retains old membership information, so NRA Training does not send a non-member number to former members to use to establish an account on nrainstructors.org.  The system assumes the former member will use their former membership number, and most people don’t remember that number.  This has been an issue in the past, and you will have to contact someone at NRA Training or the instructor of the NRA RSO course so that the NRA can override the system in this case.

Registration is required – Please contact Robert McDermott by July 24th for questions, concerns, and registration at (413) 441-4582 or robmcdermott@verizon.net / Click here for the registration form: August 14, 2021 RSO Course Registration Form

The first 10 active LSA Members to register for this course and agree to actively participate as an RSO at the Club in some capacity (i.e., for any event/match held on LSA property where RSOs are needed, during youth training or events/matches or during a busy weekend on any of our ranges) will have the cost of the course covered by LSA (the member is only required to pay for the cost of credentialing through the nrainstructors.org website and will need to provide a copy of their credential certificate or card to the Club to keep on file).

To be eligible to purchase a surplus U.S. Government M1 Garand, 1903 Springfield, or smallbore rifle through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), Federal law requires that the purchaser must be a member of a club or organization that is affiliated with the CMP.  Lee Sportsmen’s Association (LSA) is a Club Affiliate of the CMP for 2021.  Any LSA Member who wishes to purchase a government rifle from the CMP is required to include a CMP Club Member Certification Form with their order.  If you are an LSA member in good standing and interested in doing so, please contact info@leesportsmen.com or call/text Stephanie DuPont at (215) 668-7808 to request this form be sent to you.  For more information about CMP purchases, please click here: CMP Sales and Purchase Information
