NSSF Welcomes Liberty Firearms Institute to Five-Star Family
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that Liberty Firearms Institute[1] has been awarded the organization’s Five-Star rating for range excellence.
Located in Johnstown, Colorado, a town of nearly 10,000 just 41 miles north of Denver, Liberty Firearms Institute opened in May 2016. This exceptional, family-owned and -operated facility sprawls over 100,000 square feet. Firearms shooters can take advantage of 52 lanes across six bays that permit shooting at 25, 50 and 100 yards, while archery shooters also have an eight-lane 45-yard range. Participants in both sports are fully accommodated when they visit the range. For firearms enthusiasts, there’s an abundant selection of rental firearms, including a selection of full autos and the range’s biggest draw, its .45-70 Gov’t. five-barrel Gatling gun. Complimentary safety and shooting equipment such as eye and ear protection, lead sleds and shooting bags are also provided. Archers can practice with longbows, crossbows and compounds on 3-D targets. Both sports also have their own large, generously stocked pro shops.
An intense focus on firearms education and community safety is immediately clear to anyone who visits Liberty Firearms Institute. Numerous classrooms equipped with smartboards are where a wide selection of classes — from youth firearms education and concealed carry to advanced tactical skills and specialty curriculums for women and families — take place. Classes are provided by world-class instructors from Liberty’s professional in-house training company Makhaira Group, with the occasional guest instructor brought in for special sessions. There is onsite firearms storage for the range’s members via 262 fortified personal safes that are further secured in
