The Clark County Shooting Park, located on the northern outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada, is the largest shooting facility in the United States.[1] The 2,900 acres (1,200 ha) park is being built in stages by Clark County, Nevada.[2] At full build out is anticipated that only 900 acres (360 ha) will be developed with the rest of the site serving as a buffer for the surrounding community. The park is located at the northern end of Decatur Blvd in unincorporated Clark County, just north of the City of Las Vegas boundary.[3]

History
