Continue reading to find out more about the top-notch features of a shooting range. There are some other important considerations to make when designing your shooting field. 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. These controls include lighting, communications, and security, all of which are operated by a designated official. Control booths offer unobstructed views of firing lanes and are usually made of a concrete cube with bulletproof glass. The control booth lighting can be manually controlled. Also important is to ensure that all safety equipment is in place at the shooting range.
Downrange lighting system
A Downrange lighting system can be installed at yards to ensure safety when shooting. The switch is flipped into the ON position by the person who makes the Downrange Request. A sequence of strobe light will then be activated along with a buzzer. The lights will continue to flash until the COLD command gets acknowledged and the firing lines are secure.
Targets for spinner types
The MGM Spinner Target is a traditional target for yards shooting range. The spinner targets are made up of two plates of stainless steel connected by an interlocking crosspiece. The plates will spin around a spindle once they are impacted. They then rest vertically. The spinner targets require that the shooter hits each plate until it has completed its movement. In addition, spinner targets are not suitable for use with hard-nosed bullets.
Air supply system
There are many things you should consider when designing an air supply system to support a yard shooting range. OSHA, EPA and other standards should be met when designing an air supply system for a yards shooting range. The range should have an air flow rate of at least 50 feet behind the firing lines and must be filtered. Ideally, the supplied air inlets are placed at least 15 feet away from where the shooter is located. In addition, the range facility should maintain slightly negative pressure to prevent contaminants from escaping. Additionally, the exhaust should be at most 10 percent above the supply.
