T
he eyes of everyone in the tour
group of about 20 visitors admiring the gun display in the
lobby of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s firearms
training building lit up when they were
told what the next stop on the training facility’s tour would include.
“Alright, now lets go back and let you
shoot a little on our virtual shooting
range,” FLETC firearms branch chief
Ringan Doty told the group made up
primarily of members of the Brunswick
Golden Isles Chamber of Commerce.
A short stroll down the hallway led the
visitors to a long room with projectors
displaying a series of virtual targets on
the wall. At the back of the room, a cart
full of laser guns simulating Sig Sauer
and Glock pistols immediately drew the
attention of everyone in the room.
After a few tips from senior firearms
instructor Ed Sizemore, smiles widened
as the virtual shooting began in the
range, a recent addition to FLETC that
cost more than $2 million, but will save
about$2,400perstud
