IPSC Range Officers are the best trained, the best qualified, and the best prepared, to a same world-wide standard.

 
IPSC Range Officers form the support and infrastructure of IPSC shooting and, for this reason, National Range Officer Institutes (NROI) and the International Range Officer Association (IROA) have been developed. They are designed to establish a structure for the creation, accreditation, recognition, and maintenance of match officials. These organizations ensure that IPSC Range Officers are the best trained, the best qualified, and the best prepared, to a same world-wide standard.

The quality of competition is directly linked to the quality of the officiating.

There exists a direct relationship between the quality of the officiating and the quality of the competition. Range Officers can enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow officials and be proud to be a part of the fraternity of IPSC Officials.

People, Knowledge, Integrity, Experience, Excellence, Teamwork, Ingenuity and Service.
