National Range Officers Institute Jamaica

NROI (Jamaica)

IPSC Jamaica was established on affiliation in 1996; the National Range Officers Institute Jamaica followed in 2011.

Competitor engaging targets on a practical pistol stage

The Jamaica Rifle Association formally affiliated with the International Practical Shooting Confederation in 1996, establishing IPSC Jamaica as the primary activity of the Practical Shooting Group. The National Range Officers Institute Jamaica was formally established in 2011.

The JRA has since affiliated several FLA-approved ranges under IPSC Jamaica. It holds IPSC range officer training seminars regularly, and administers the National Range Official Maintenance Program.

Certified officials must earn a minimum of six match points a year to hold their certification, and can earn activity points toward International Range Officers Association accreditation by working international matches.
