Providing on-site assistance to shooting range facilities
The NRA Range Technical Team is a nationwide network of volunteers trained in the field of shooting range development, design, and operations. The Range Technical Team was developed to provide an extension of NRA Headquarters to range owners and operators at the local level. The goal of the Range Technical Team is to provide every shooting community with the necessary assistance and support to help keep our nation’s ranges operating well into the 21st century.
Services provided by Range Technical Team Advisors (RTTAs) include:
- range planning assistance
- range use and procedural evaluations
- range safety and design evaluations

To initiate RTTA assistance, please send an RTTA request form to the NRA Range Services Department. Click here to download and fill out an RTTA Request Form. Be sure that the form is signed by appropriate range personnel (president, owner, CEO, etc.).

Upon receipt of the RTTA Request Form, NRA will prepare a consultant agreement that must be signed by NRA and the requesting range prior to a RTTA visiting your site. Please allow 10-14 days for the completion of this process.
Range survival depends on range managers taking an active role and planning for the future. One way to begin is by having an outside advisor take an honest look at your shooting range facility, and its operations. This advisor will be able to discuss your strong points and the possible areas for improvement. Shooting range safety is not a function of sound engineering and design principles alone, but a commitment from every manager, member, and user involved in the proper handling of firearms and the proper use of the shooting range.
Ranges requesting on-site RTTA services will be responsible for cost recovery as outlined below.
