Home Study Course – The RO Candidate will download the PowerPoint RO Home Study Material and review both the Shooter’s Handbook and the Home Study PowerPoint. They will then take the open book RO Phase I exam. The exam will be returned for grading. A grade of 80% is required to pass. If the candidate does not pass, they may review the material again and take a new, different exam.

Practical Classroom Course – The RO Candidate must demonstrate to the instructor that they understand the concept of using the timer and safely assisting the shooter through the course of fire.  Discussion will include how to mentally prepare yourself for each stage to be able to safely assist the shooter through the course of fire. This will take one to two hours.

Range Confirmation – The RO Candidate must RO at least 3 shooters at each of 2 different H3G matches and be signed off by the Match Director or an RO Instructor that they have demonstrated by example being a good Range Officer/Timer Operator and clearly demonstrated how to safely assist a shooter through a course of fire.
