There are many benefits to a shooting range, but the most important ones include a quality Control booth, state of-the-art lighting, and spinner targets. Read on to learn more about the features of a top-notch shooting range. We'll also cover a few other considerations when designing your shooting range. Once you've made the selection, we'll discuss important details like:
Control booth
A control booth is an area of an indoor shooting range that houses the fundamental controls of the facility. These controls include security, communications, and lighting. All of these are controlled by a designated official. The control booth has unobstructed view of the firing lanes. It is typically made up of a concrete cube and bulletproof windows. Lighting in a control booth is manually controlled. You must also ensure that your shooting range is properly equipped.
Downrange lighting system
A Downrange lighting system is essential for shooting on yards. These lights are activated using a switch that is turned ON by the person making the Downrange Request. During this time, a sequence of strobe lamps will be activated and accompanied by a buzzer. The lights will continue to flash until the COLD command gets acknowledged and the firing lines are secure.
Spinner type targets
The MGM Spinner Target - This is the standard target for yard shooting range. The spinner targets consist of two steel plates connected by a crosspiece. Once the plates are impact, they rotate around a spindle until they reach a vertical position. The shooter must hit each spinner target until it completes its turn. Also, spinner targets should not be used in conjunction with hard-nosed ammunition.
Air supply system
There are many things you should consider when designing an air supply system to support a yard shooting range. The air supply system should meet the requirements set forth by OSHA and EPA. The air supply system should provide at least 50 fpm of air flow behind the firing line. Ideally, the supplied air inlets should be placed 15 feet behind the shooter's position. To prevent contaminants from escaping, the range facility must maintain a slight negative pressure. The exhaust air should be at minimum 10 percent higher than that of the supply.
