NROI Ontario
The President of the National Range Officers Institute of Canada is Bud Melless. However, Bud is also the President of NROI (Ontario), and with that, has the responsibility of scheduling all Range Officer, and Chief Range Officer seminars in Ontario.

If you meet the criteria below, and would like to participate in one of our Range Officer seminars, simply use the Range Officer Course sign up page or, if your club would like to host a Range Officer seminar, just contact Bud Melless or Doug Lewis, and we'll set it up with you. Anyone is welcome to participate provided they have successfully completed their Black Badge training.
Criteria for obtaining National Range Officer accreditation is as follows:

  • You must be a current member of IPSC Canada.
  • You must succesfully complete a Level I, NROI seminar
  • You must earn three (3) supervised match point
  • (under the supervision of a certified Range Official)

We have been asked if a "new" competitor may take the course, and the answer depends on your definition of "new". If you have been an active member and competitor for at least one year then you may take the Range Officer course. In fact, much of the information gained from a Range Officer seminar can be very useful at matches. Not only do you become more aware of the rules and principles of practical shooting, but you also learn about proper course design. Range Officer seminars a two full days (Saturday & Sunday) in duration, the cost is $25.00 which includes, all manuals. your RO pin, a very nice certificate, and a crest just like the one at the top of this page. This will all be sent to you immediately upon accumulating three supervised points.

Note:
If you're already a Range Officer and would like to take the course again as a refresher, let us know and you may attend the course at no charge.

So, come on everyone, sign up for a Range Officer course, and you can join the ranks of other NROI Range Officers. You'll be glad you did!
