There are many advantages to a great shooting range. But some of the most important elements include a high quality Control booth and state-ofthe-art lighting systems. Also, you can use Spinner targets. Continue reading to find out more about the top-notch features of a shooting range. A few other things to consider when designing your shooting range will also be covered. We'll cover some details once you have made your selection.
Control booth
A control booth is an area within an indoor shooting facility that houses the essential controls. Controls include security, lighting, communications and security. They are all operated by an authorized official. Control booths provide unobstructed access to the firing lanes. They are typically constructed of a concrete cube that has bulletproof windows. The control booth lighting can be manually controlled. You must also ensure that your shooting range is properly equipped.
Downrange lighting system
A Downrange lighting system can be installed at yards to ensure safety when shooting. These lights are activated when the person making the Downrange request flips the switch into the ON position. A series of strobe lights and a buzzer will activate during this time. The lights will then continue to strobe for a while until the COLD command and firing line are acknowledged.
Spinner type targets
The MGM Spinner Target is a traditional target for yards shooting range. Two plates of steel are connected by a crossover to make the spinner targets. Once the plates are impact, they rotate around a spindle until they reach a vertical position. The spinner targets require that the shooter hits each plate until it has completed its movement. Spinner targets are not compatible with hard-nosed rounds.
Air supply system
You should take several things into consideration when designing an Air Supply System for a Yard Shooting Range. OSHA and EPA have specific requirements for the air supply system. The air supply system should provide at least 50 fpm of air flow behind the firing line. The air inlets must be at least 15 feet from the position of the shooter. In addition, the range facility should maintain slightly negative pressure to prevent contaminants from escaping. Also, the exhaust air should not be less than 10 percent of the supply air.
