The Range 702 Receives Certificate Of Appreciation From American Legion

The Range 702, Nevada's largest indoor shooting facility, was recently awarded a Certificate of Appreciation from The American Legion, the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, for effectively maintaining 90 percent Veteran and service member hiring standard.  

Commander Ed Seeley from The American Legion’s Department of Nevada, 2nd District, presented the award to The Range 702’s Assistant Operations Manager Carlos Campos and Range Manager Bryan Colston on Friday, August 16, 2013. Campos, former United States Marine Corps, alongside Colston, previous United States Navy, accepted the award on behalf of The Range 702’s 54 active staff members, 48 of whom are former United States armed forces.                                                                                               

As a former Air Rescue Swimmer in the U.S. Navy stationed in Coronado, CA for nine years, Bryan Colston is now employed at The Range 702 as Lead Range Manager and provides one-on-one firearm training for customers and tourists. “I’m in charge of over 10 Range Safety Officers at The Range 702, all of whom are ex-military, so supporting fellow veterans is a priority for me,” said Bryan. “The American Legion recognizing The Range 702’s efforts is a great honor and furthers our cause of continuing to hire and maintain veterans of the United States armed forces.”  

In addition to providing a workplace where veterans can exercise their leadership skills and knowledge of firearms among other aspects of training received while in the military, The Range 702 also actively supports several charitable organizations that provide assistance to veterans including America Helping Heroes,  Horses4Heroes , and Wounded Warrior Project. 

The Range 702 is conveniently located off the I-15, between W. Tropicana and W. Flamingo at 4699 Dean Martin Drive Las Vegas, NV 89103. For more information, call 855-LVRANGE or visit www.therange702.com.
