  1. Which of the following best describes the 'chain of command' in range incident reporting?

    Answer: RSO notifies range management, who then notifies regulatory bodies if required

    The RSO notifies range management, who determines if regulatory or law enforcement notification is required.

  2. A shooter experiences severe eye irritation after a case rupture. What is the RSO's immediate response?

    Answer: Have the shooter rinse eyes with water for 15–20 minutes and call EMS

    Immediate flushing with water for 15–20 minutes is the standard first aid for chemical or debris eye exposure.

  3. How long should incident reports typically be retained by a range facility?

    Answer: Per facility policy, but often 3–7 years or per state law

    Retention periods vary by jurisdiction but typically range from 3 to 7 years to satisfy statute of limitations requirements.

  4. A shooter at a public range accidentally discharges a round into the ceiling. No one is injured. What should the RSO do first?

    Answer: Call an immediate ceasefire and secure all firearms on the line

    A ceasefire must be called immediately after any unintentional discharge to ensure the environment is safe.

  5. Which component is essential in a range emergency action plan (EAP) for a shooting incident?

    Answer: Designated evacuation routes and assembly points

    Evacuation routes and assembly points are core elements of any EAP to ensure orderly and safe movement during emergencies.

  6. A range RSO witnesses a range officer from another bay mishandle a firearm causing an accidental discharge. Who should be notified?

    Answer: The range officer's supervisor or range management immediately

    RSOs have a duty to report all safety violations and incidents to management regardless of who caused them.

  7. What is the correct way to handle a hang-fire situation to prevent injury?

    Answer: Keep the firearm pointed downrange for at least 30 seconds before carefully unloading

    A 30-second wait with the muzzle downrange allows a delayed ignition to occur safely before unloading.
