# NRA Safe Shooter Card

An **NRA Safe Shooter card** (sometimes called a competency card) records the disciplines a shooter is signed off as competent in. Range Mate can request these from the NRA automatically for your members.

## Initial setup

There are a few things you need to do to enable the integration:

1. Navigate to **Club Settings → Integrations**.
2. Enable **Send NRA Safe Shooter card requests**.
3. Add the email address requests should be sent to. To go direct to the NRA, use `sccclubrenewals@nra.org.uk`. Alternatively, enter any valid email address to have the batch requests sent to you first, so you can check them and forward them on manually.
4. Add an address to send the cards to. This is normally the home address of the club secretary, who then hands the cards out to the individuals.

## How batches work

The NRA require this information in a specific format and prefer batches over individual requests — especially for large clubs. Range Mate automatically builds and sends batches in a queue, starting at 8:30 AM (UTC) every Monday morning.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need to send a batch urgently, open the **NRA Safe Shooter card requests** page from the main menu and click **New Batch** in the top right. New batches are built and sent in the background and can take up to an hour to process.
{% endhint %}

### Batch format

Here's a basic illustration of an individual batch:

```yaml
Main Batch file.zip
    Member Data.csv
    Images (Folder)
        surname-ddmmyy.jpeg
        surname-ddmmyy.jpeg
```

There's one main file (.zip) containing a CSV of the member data plus a sub-folder of each person's image. Batches are given unique references so you can track them with the NRA if needed.

### Batch sizes

Small batches (a few members) may be sent by email. Larger batches (over 10MB total) can't, so the emails contain a secure download link that expires 7 days after creation.
