Shooting range design support

Designing a shooting range starts with a decision about the technology. We support designers and architects from the concept stage, so that the space and the equipment are planned together: lane length, rail routing, power supply, the control room and scenario lighting. You get the technical requirements of every device and datasheets ready to go straight into the design documentation, for an indoor range, an outdoor range or a container facility.

Support

Technology from the first drawing

01

The earlier, the fewer compromises

We show how to plan space for target carriers, lighting and targets while the drawings are still open, before those decisions become expensive to change.

02

Guidelines for specific devices

Routing of panel rails, spacing of scenario lighting, docking stations, control cabinet and network. Real figures for real equipment, not general statements.

03

Efficient and impressive

We help arrange the space so the technology performs at its best and makes an impression on everyone who uses the facility.

How it works

Design support step by step

  1. 01

    Concept

    You tell us the type of facility: indoor, outdoor or container range, number of firing points, distances and the kind of shooting planned.

  2. 02

    Guidelines

    We send the technical requirements of the devices: rails, power, network, mounting points and clearances, in a form you can put into the drawings.

  3. 03

    Review

    We go through your layout with you and flag anything that would limit the equipment later, while a change still costs an hour.

  4. 04

    Documentation

    Datasheets, CE declarations and device descriptions for the specification and the tender documents.

Questions and answers

Common questions about shooting range design

When is the best moment to involve the equipment manufacturer?

At the concept stage. Rail routing, power supply, network, the control room and the mounting points for lighting are all decided early, and the cost of adjusting them rises with every later phase of the design.

What do your range design guidelines cover?

Rail routing and brackets above the lane, docking stations, power and network runs, the location of the control cabinet, mounting for scenario lighting and sound, and the clearances every device needs around it.

Do you support indoor, outdoor and container ranges?

Yes. The same system is designed into indoor and outdoor ranges and into container facilities. Lane length, device selection and mounting details change; the control software stays the same.

What lane lengths should I allow for?

Target carriers work on lanes from 5 m, typically up to 500 m, and longer lanes on request. The target is positioned every 1 m, so one long lane also serves shorter distances.

What can I attach to the design documentation?

Datasheets of every device, CE declarations and technical descriptions written for specifications and tender documents. Tell us what the documentation needs and we will prepare it for your project.

The best shooting ranges are designed when the drawings and the technology speak the same language.

Consultation

Support for your design

Describe the facility you are designing: indoor, outdoor or container range, number of firing points, distances. We will prepare the technical guidelines and review the layout with you. Consultation at the concept stage costs nothing.
