The SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range Safety Award, sponsored by Action Target, honors the participating company that demonstrates the highest standard of safety throughout the event. The 2026 Action Target Safety Award was awarded to FightLite Industries at the Action Target SHOT Show booth.
"Congratulations to FightLite Industries for earning the 2026 Action Target Safety Award. Their unwavering commitment to safety sets a benchmark for the entire industry, ensuring that events like Industry Day at the Range remain secure and enjoyable for all participants," said Kevin Tomaszewski, Sr. Vice President & General Manager at Action Target. "We're proud to sponsor this award and recognize excellence in safety practices that protect lives and promote responsible firearm handling."
Safety auditors judged shooting exhibitors during Industry Day, and the score was determined by range safety criteria such as providing hearing and eye protection, control of ammunition and safe handling of firearms on the firing line. Scoring also took into consideration the posting of rules, availability of first aid kits at the shooting stations and crowd management.
"Safety is at the core of everything we do at Action Target, and it's inspiring to see companies like FightLite Industries leading by example. This award highlights the importance of rigorous standards in eye and ear protection, ammunition control, and overall range management, which ultimately benefits everyone in our industry." Kevin Tomaszewski, continued.
With a steady stream of individuals, media and attendees flowed through the exhibitor lanes testing products and watching demonstrations by top manufacturers and suppliers. The 2026 Industry Day at the Range was held at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club in Boulder City, Nevada on Monday, January 19.
