Our range experts work with law enforcement agencies and private landowners to provide solutions for their current or future small arms ranges and training facilities.
RDS performs comprehensive range evaluations to assist our clients in the management of risks associated with the operation of firearm ranges. These include ballistic, sound, and environmental issues; all of which can result in huge financial and legal liabilities for range owners. The goal is to identify these risks and provide workable solutions to keep the range in operation far into the foreseeable future. Our evaluations include a site visit by an RDS range expert to engage directly with range owners and training personnel to gain a full understanding of the range operations. This involves a thorough examination of current range infrastructure, usage, policies and procedures, and training regimen. For new ranges, RDS evaluates the proposed site to determine the proper placement and orientation of your range and the identification of any risks to its successful construction and operation. RDS works to address these risks by providing consultation to identify customized workable solutions, such as: sound mitigation measures, ballistic containment structures, surface danger zone layout, and other measures to increase overall feasibility for a site. When done early in the process, these site evaluations can save significant amounts of time and money, through efficiency in the planning stage.
