The United States National Range Officers Institute was designed to establish a structure for the creation, accreditation, recognition, and maintenance for USPSA members wishing to become match officials. Following the goals of the Range Officer Creed, the organization ensures that Range Officers are the best trained, the best qualified, and the best prepared, to a same world-wide standard, in conjunction with IPSC/IROA officials. There exists a direct relationship between the quality of the officiating, and the quality of the competition. Officials can enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow staff, and be proud to be a part of the fraternity of officiating.

The Purpose and Goals of NROI
  • Establish national training standards for Range Officials.
  • Advise on aspects relating to the safe conduct of competition.
  • Advise on rules of competition and principles of good course design.
  • Certify and recertify Officials.
  • Serve and support local and national USPSA matches.
  • Where relevant, offer support for international matches.

    Why?

    I received an email recently from a member who is considering putting on a class at his local club. First, he wanted to know why. Why should he organize and schedule the class? Why should his members pay money and give up a weekend to attend? Why do people willingly DO this?

    Those are fair questions.

    Of course, I know my reasons why. I also know the organization's "official" stance on why. But I'm curious -- why did YOU do it? Tell us the reasons you decided to take the plunge and obtain certification with NROI? Are you glad you did? Would you recommend it to others? Why?

    I'm going to be collecting the data for an upcoming Front Sight Article, so please sing out and include your name if you'd like to be credited.
