The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a firearms qualification shoot for retired law enforcement officers on April 25, 2025. The event begins at 8:30 in the morning at the new Sheriff’s Firing Range, located at the former Baxter County Quarry on County Road 69, off Highway 5 South. Signs will mark the entrance.
The cost to participate is $10, payable in advance. Retired officers must bring their own firearm and ammunition, subject to certain restrictions.
Participants must register in advance by visiting the Sheriff’s Office to complete a written application and sign a release and waiver of liability form.
The qualification course, designed by certified firearms instructors, will test officers’ shooting proficiency. Those who pass will receive an official card from the Sheriff’s Office confirming their successful completion. However, the card will not be issued by the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards, as the Sheriff’s Office does not participate in that program.
Firing range rules and other limitations will apply. For more information, contact the Baxter County Sheriffs Office at (870) 425-7000.
