(1) Mohave County, Arizona, has experienced 
rapid growth in the last few years and traditional lo-
cations for target shooting are now too close to pop-
ulated areas for safety; 
(2) there is a need to designate a centralized 
public location in Mohave County where target 
shooters can practice safely; and 
(3) a central facility is also needed for persons 
training in the use of firearms, such as local law en-
forcement and security personnel. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is— 
(1) to provide a suitable location for the estab-
lishment of a centralized public shooting facility in 
Mohave; and 
(2) to provide the public with— 
(A) opportunities for education and recre-
ation; 
(B) a location for competitive events and 
marksmanship training; and 
(C) a location for local law enforcement of-
ficers to practice and improve their marksman-
ship skills so that they do not have to leave the 
area to practice such skills.
