Thompson/Center Arms details the construction of a new 100-yard private gun range at their HQ. The range features a Goliath 4x4 Bullet Bunker made of AR500 steel for projectile containment, a natural hillside backstop, and railroad tie reinforcement for added safety. The facility will include a covered shooting station with video monitoring for real-time feedback during testing and prototyping, powered in part by solar energy.
This video explains the function and composition of an indoor shooting range backstop. The instructor details that the backstop is made of granulated or chopped rubber, approximately 2 feet deep, and holds around 39,000 lbs of material. Key benefits include sound absorption, reduction of airborne lead contaminants by preventing rounds from hitting steel, and minimized ricochet.
