A National Rifle Association Foundation grant the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s office has been awarded will directly benefit both law enforcement and the shooting public, Sheriff Rich Haskell said.
The Sheriff’s Office program, called “Expanding Southwest Wyoming’s Shooters’ Resources with Reactive Steel Targets,” was conceived as a multi-faceted approach to enhancing those resources through the purchase of reactive steel targets, steel target systems, and other shooting range equipment for use by law enforcement and civilian shooters at the Sweetwater County Shooting Sports Complex Firearms Range south of Rock Springs.
Haskell said the grant funds, $10,952.81, will be used to purchase a variety of reactive steel handgun and rimfire-caliber targets and target systems for use in law enforcement training, for an advanced Civilian Firearms Training Course being established by the Sheriff’s Office, and for the general, free-of-charge use by the general public at the Shooting Sports Complex through the Sweetwater County Recreation Board, which manages the county’s firearms range.
It has long been established among experts in combat and self-defense firearms training that the instant feedback provided by reactive steel targets is highly beneficial.
As a result, Haskell said, training on reactive steel targets is one of the best ways of developing the skills necessary for effective and safe handgun self-defense training.
