Target shooting education video series now available for viewing

The 5-video series provides tips for safe and respectful target shooting on public lands

Boulder County, Colo. A new video series entitled “Safety & Respect” has been created by the Northern Front Range Recreational Sport Shooting Management Partnership, or Sport Shooting Partnership. The five-video series was created to help new and experienced target shooting participants have a safe and successful experience on public lands. Each video in the series highlights an important aspect of the target shooting from choosing a safe location to cleaning up afterward.

One of the partnerships main strategies is to provide information and education about safe and responsible shooting for both sport shooters and other recreationists. The video series, along with other educational materials, and the full Partnership strategy can be found at www.SportShootingPartners.org.

The videos are currently all available for viewing on YouTube or the Partnership website, and will also be released on the Partnership’s social media platforms as part of a new campaign – #SafetySaturdays. Beginning on Saturday, Oct. 8, the Facebook page and Twitter feed for the Sport Shooting Partnership will provide the next video in the series for public viewing. The idea is to give important safety information in smaller pieces, but allow for the option of viewing all videos in sequence if so desired.

Northern Front Range Recreational Sport Shooting Management Partnership
The Sport Shooting Partnership is a collaborative group of land managers who have joined together to develop a landscape-level, multi-jurisdictional strategy to provide safe, responsible, and accessible recreational sport shooting opportunities while addressing conflicts near residential areas and with other recreation users across the northern Colorado Front Range. 

The Partnership is comprised of Colorado Parks & Wildlife - Northeast Region, Boulder, Clear Creek, Gilpin, and Larimer counties and U.S. Forest Service: Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests.
