The Clark County Shooting Park opened last month in the Las Vegas area, capping a 25-year effort to open a world-class shooting facility for the public.
At the SHOT Show, NSSF honored members of the Clark County Commission for their leadership in developing the shooting park. NSSF also recognized the important role Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and the rest of the state’s congressional delegation played in securing the federal assistance necessary to make the park a reality.
The shooting park is located in the county's District B, which is represented by Commissioner Tom Collins, a life member of the National Rifle Association.
“We are honored to be recognized by the National Shooting Sports Foundation for developing the Clark County Shooting Park,” said Collins. “We built the park because Nevadans enjoy participating in and respect America’s hunting and shooting sports heritage and our firearms freedoms. In view of that heritage, and of the economic impact of the SHOT Show, we are pleased to welcome the show back to Las Vegas and look forward to having it here in the years to come.”
NSSF Board of Governors Chairman Bob Scott noted how pleased members of the industry were that the SHOT Show has returned to Las Vegas and the importance of the city to the success of the SHOT Show.
“Las Vegas has long been considered the home of SHOT Show -– now the 22nd largest trade show in North America -– and the destination of choice for our more than 55,000 exhibitors and attendees,” said Scott.
