For anyone seeking NRA RSO certification, I highly recommend Rochester Personal Defense and David Jenkins. The instruction is professional and delivered with David’s personal touch, the content is practical, and the training is ideal for developing the mindset and skills required of a Range Safety Officer.

A lot of good info to take in…some instructors just read from the manual, Dave added his own experiences. Anytime we learn to be safer at the range is a good thing.

David,

Thanks for a great class.

Presentation was excellent.

My goal in attending this class was to listen and learn.

Walked away with a good sense of what I know, and more importantly, what I don’t know. Gave me a clear sense of what to work on in the future.

Regards,

Andy

Wendy and Ed made class fun and very informative. I left class feeling I gained a lot of safety knowledge, respect for my weapon, a great starting point to my skills, and the desire to learn more, stay informed, and wanting to keep up with training. I look forward to future classes. Thanks for a great class!
