Frequently asked questions about Indoor Ranges
How much does it cost to build an indoor range?
This is a difficult question to answer because there are so many variables that can affect the cost of your range. Are you moving into an existing structure, or are you building your own from scratch? If you are building, what construction methods will you use? How many shooting positions will you have? How long will the shooting lanes be? Will rifles be used on your range? Will you have target retrievers only, or will you have other target systems as well? The list goes on and on. To help wade through all the details and make the experience as simple as possible, Action Target has streamlined the pricing and ordering process tremendously. When you call, a range planning specialist will go over your range plans with you to develop an understanding of exactly what you want to accomplish. With our help you can decide on various range equipment options such as a bullet trap, shooting stalls, safety baffles, and target systems. Once you have selected the options that best meet your needs, we will give you an accurate per-lane price that includes shipping and installation so there won't be any surprises or last minute expenses. In the end, you will wish everyone was as easy to work with as Action Target!
What kind of range equipment will I actually need?
Before you can make equipment choices, you must first determine what the range will be used for. A careful analysis of the purposes for the range will help you choose those things that will be of the greatest benefit, and not waste money on things you don't really need. For example, a community indoor range catering to recreational shooters will have very different needs than a law enforcement range that must qualify two hundred new recruits each month. Because Action Target provides a complete line of superior range equipment and target systems for law enforcement, military, and commercial ranges, we can help you design a facility that will give you exactly what you need.
Where can I go for more information?
If you are serious about building an indoor range, your next step should be to order the NRA Indoor Range Manual. For an extremely reasonable price, this fantastic resource covers virtually every aspect of planning, designing, and maintaining a safe and successful range. Simply call 1-800-336-7402 and tell them Action Target said you have to get this book! If you then decide to enlist Action Target as your partner in your indoor range project, we will gladly refund the cost of the manual back to you.
