ACME Rifles Powers Tactical Training at the ISOA: From Platinum Sponsorship to Ballistic Vest Shoot Demo

Evansville, IN — September 5, 2025

ACME Machine / ACME Rifles continues to raise the bar in supporting law enforcement and tactical professionals across Indiana and beyond. As a Platinum Sponsor of the Indiana SWAT Officers Association (ISOA), ACME has been at the forefront of integrating precision marksmanship into tactical training, ensuring officers are equipped with the tools, skills, and confidence they need in the field.

This September, ACME will be on the ground again at the Point Blank Vest Shoot & Rifle Demo, hosted at the Vanderburgh County Training Center in Evansville, IN. Attendees will see live ballistic vest proofing with Point Blank gear, hands-on demonstrations of ACME’s rifles and optics, and an exclusive ACME Rifle Package Giveaway.

Building on a Year of Tactical Support

Earlier this year, ACME Machine was proud to serve as a Platinum Sponsor at the ISOA Tactical Conference, where the company introduced officers to the sport and discipline of precision marksmanship. This unique integration of competitive shooting principles into law enforcement training sparked new conversations about accuracy, reliability, and mental focus under pressure.

ACME also proudly provided the 2025 ISOA Top Shot Rifle for the conference — a symbol of excellence awarded to the officer who proved their skills at the highest level.

Supporting Those Who Serve Beyond the Range

ACME’s commitment to law enforcement goes deeper than rifles and optics. The company has stepped up in a big way to support the ISOA Chaplains Ministry, Thin Blue First. On May 12, 2025, Thin Blue First celebrated its fifth year of service at the annual Police Appreciation Dinner. To mark the occasion, ACME presented a customized rifle, honoring both the chaplains and the officers they serve.

This heartfelt contribution underscores ACME’s mission to not only innovate in firearms but to also invest in the spiritual and emotional wellbeing of officers and their families.

Looking Ahead: The Vest Shoot & Demo

With the upcoming Point Blank Vest Shoot & ACME Rifle Demo, the stage is set for another milestone in ACME’s partnership with ISOA. The event promises:

• Point Blank ballistic vest shoot — proofing the latest protective gear

• ACME Rifles in live-fire action — showcasing unmatched accuracy & reliability

• Hands-on rifle & optic displays for officers and attendees

• An exclusive ACME Rifle Package Giveaway (must be present to win)
