We are an all-volunteer organization and we rely on our friendly volunteers to operate the facility daily.
There are many ways to help, most requiring only 9 hours a month. Volunteering also has benefits. If you volunteer your time as an RAO and/or RSO, it could qualify you for a no-cost Membership.
And last, but not least there is always a way to help that requires no time commitment or the ability to do some light physical labor! Donation Today!
Without our Certified Range Safety Officers, Red Cliffs Rifle & Pistol Range simply could not exist! We are proud to accept both NRA and USCCA Certified Range Safety Officers to help keep our firing lines safe and open.
Being an official NRA Range remains a crucial foundation for us in Southern Utah. Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts are required to use an NRA Range for firearm events such as Merit Badges, and this designation helps us qualify for key grants from the Local Friends of the NRA.
If you want to make a real impact at Red Cliffs, consider volunteering as an RSO. By working a minimum of just two shifts per month (four to five hours per shift supervising the firing line), you receive all the benefits of an Annual Member—with your membership fee completely waived!
Whether you hold an NRA or USCCA certification, or are looking to get certified in one of our periodic upcoming classes, we would love to have you on the team. If this interests you, send an email to contact@redcliffsrange.com to request more information.
If we can grow from 40 to 80 active RSOs, it will make a world of difference in range operations. We could expand our open hours, utilize our lighting for evening shooting, and eliminate range closures caused by sudden illnesses or vacations. Help us keep the range thriving!
One of the very important roles of Range operation is the role of RAO. This is the person who greets shooters when they first enter the range, handles the paperwork and collects the fees associated for their activity. The RAO collects information to be passed on to the Range Safety Officers before that shooter is assigned to the Main Range or a Shooting Bay.
Why is this so important?
The RAO is usually the first person a visitor to the Range will speak to. They must be familiar with Range Rules, and make sure the visitors have eye and ear protection and targets. RAOs operate the Point of Sale system (cash drawer) and follow the office procedures.
Working a minimum of two shifts per month makes you eligible to receive all of the benefits provided to the RSOs. Interested members should contact the CRAO.
Range maintenance is a never-ending part of Red Cliffs Rifle & Pistol Range. There is always something to do, including painting, cutting target cardboard backers, cleaning up, and constant repairs of various parts of the Range. We can always use additional help when it comes to getting things done promptly.
Currently, the Range has a core group of Maintenance volunteers who address its daily needs. In addition, one day a month typically occurs when additional volunteers are requested to deal with larger Range projects. What a difference this has made in the appearance and functionality of Range operations.
