I have been fortunate enough to have attended multiple times and was supposed to be there this year. Thanks to weather-related travel delays, we did not arrive in Las Vegas until Tuesday evening so missed out on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me set the scene for you. You have hundreds of people wandering around a huge range that has over 50 shooting locations. At these shooting locations you have people of varying firearms experience shooting real firearms with real ammunition. Add on top of this a number of these people are also trying to film themselves or others while they are firing these firearms. It could be a recipe for disaster if you didn&#8217;t have excellent range safety officers and tight control by the various company representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, when I heard that Franklin Armory won the Action Target Industry Day Safety Award I was very impressed. Not only did they win the award but they did it while showcasing products &#8211; binary triggers &#8211; that work in a unique way. You can see some of how they work in the video below done by The Firearm Blog TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IBGhboXs5kM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From the release by Industry Day announcing the win:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The winner of the Action Target Safety Award receives a $2,000 credit toward the 2023 Industry Day at the Range event.
