Benefits:

Chief Safety Officers running a squad get their first entry to Bandera and Texas Tactical Matches free!
If you instruct others in firearms use, SO experience is hugely helpful in calmly controlling a single student, or running a line.

Excerpt from the IDPA Tactical Journal article on becoming an SO:

"Why the heck do you want to be an SO?”

“It’s an opportunity to watch some really good shooters close up, meeting a lot of great people who share a common sport and enjoy it, and of course just for the fun of shooting.

I’ve had the opportunity to be an SO for some master shooters that not only inspire me to shoot better and were eager to share their approach to shooting the stage with me.

And I’ve watched new shooters grow from coming in last to always placing in the top.

One of the most important and critical jobs of the SO is to make sure each new shooter completes the stage safely while managing to put at least a few holes in the correct target."
