Steel Targets and Target Systems Available For Handgun Shooters at Local Shooting Range

The Sweetwater County Shooting Sports Complex officially reopened for the season last month, and now offers a variety of reactive steel targets and target systems for handgun shooters. Acting as a spokesman for the County Recreation Board, Dick Blust of the Sweetwater County Sheriff's office says the targets and target systems were obtained in 2011 by the Sheriff’s Office through a Friends of the NRA grant.






Multiple senses are effected in the reaction, and studies have shown that the more senses involved, the more powerful and more swiftly the conditioning becomes.






The total for the NRA grant came to just under $11,000, and included, along with the targets, the secure steel Conex box in which they are stored, utility carts for shooters, and an assortment of leather sandbags and fore-end rests.  There is no charge to use the targets or the shooting range. Range officers are on duty at the Complex Thursdays through Sundays from May through October, weather permitting, and will be available to check the steel targets out to shooters for use at the range. Hours are 8 AM to 5 PM. The range is located southwest of Rock Springs on the Little Bitter Creek Road about four miles south of its intersection with U.S. Highway 191.
