  1. An RSO is alone on the range when a shooter suffers cardiac arrest. There is no AED on site. The RSO should:

    Answer: Call 911, then begin hands-only CPR and continue until EMS arrives

    Hands-only CPR is effective and should be started immediately after calling 911; continuous compressions maintain circulation until EMS arrives.

  2. A shooter accidentally discharges a round that strikes the ceiling baffles. The RSO's first action should be:

    Answer: Call a cease fire and ensure all personnel are uninjured before assessing damage

    Personnel safety is always first — call a cease fire and confirm no injuries before any damage assessment.

  3. A new shooter begins to hyperventilate and shows signs of panic during their first shooting session. The RSO should:

    Answer: Calmly direct them to safely unload, step back from the line, and guide slow breathing

    A calm, controlled response — securing the firearm situation first, then addressing the physical symptoms — is safest for everyone.

  4. Which type of fire extinguisher is most appropriate for a grease or oil fire that might occur in a range cleaning area?

    Answer: Class K or Class B extinguisher

    Grease and oil fires are Class K (commercial) or Class B fires; water-based extinguishers can spread such fires dangerously.

  5. A shooter on the line shows signs of heat stroke: hot dry skin, confusion, and a core temperature above 104°F. The RSO should:

    Answer: Move the victim to a cool area, rapidly cool them with ice packs to neck/armpits/groin, and call 911

    Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency requiring rapid whole-body cooling and immediate EMS activation.

  6. What is the primary reason an RSO should document the exact time of a range incident in the incident report?

    Answer: To establish a timeline that may be critical for legal, medical, and insurance purposes

    Accurate timestamps establish a verifiable chain of events essential for legal proceedings, medical records, and insurance claims.

  7. A shooter's firearm is dropped and discharges, wounding a bystander. After calling 911 and providing first aid, the RSO should:

    Answer: Secure the firearm safely, preserve the scene, and document all witness information

    Preserving the scene and securing witness information is critical; disturbing evidence or allowing witnesses to leave can compromise the investigation.
