Make Ready vs Start Position

May 15, 2025 by Jodi Humann

In the 2025 Competition Rules update, there was a small change to the wording of a couple rules. This change was done to reflect what actually happens at matches and what NROI has been teaching in the RO class for years. Let’s discuss why the change was made.

The hard cover edge

May 8, 2025 by Jodi Humann

Whether you paint your own hard cover targets or purchase pre-painted ones, it is important to check the targets to ensure they have the edge of the hardcover in the right place.

March 27, 2025 by Jodi Humann

In the RO seminar we stress that working major matches is a great way to get experience as a new RO. You not only get to see all the competitors in the match shoot the stage you are working (which can be interesting), but you also get teamed up with experienced match staff who can mentor you and help refine your RO skills. But how do you get on the staff list for a major match?

Are you a consumer or a producer?

March 13, 2025 by Jodi Humann

While this topic is more of a club and competitor culture topic, it often gets brought up in seminars and at matches and occasionally to the rules email. There are a lot of clubs out there that are struggling to find help when it comes to running matches. Which is why I am asking: are you a consumer of matches, or do you help produce matches?
