Ballistic-Grade Indoor & Outdoor Target Ranges Engineered for Safe Training
We design and construct premium indoor and outdoor shooting ranges. Utilizing advanced ballistic steel armor cladding, granular rubber bullet traps, automated target retrievers, lead-dust extraction ventilation, and sound-absorbing acoustic systems, we build safe training facilities.
Shooting range construction requires complex structural design, ballistic containment, air filtration, and acoustic controls to ensure absolute user safety.
Elite International Sports provides turnkey construction of professional shooting ranges. Standard walls cannot stop bullet penetrations or prevent dangerous ricochets. We line the range walls, ceilings, and floors with ballistic-grade armored steel plates (Hardox/AR500) and self-healing rubber panels, preventing bullet backsplash.
Our ranges utilize high-capacity granular rubber bullet traps. These capture bullets intact, reducing lead dust in the air. We match this with a specialized HVAC ventilation system that provides a uniform laminar airflow, drawing toxic lead particles downrange away from shooters.
Beyond the primary ballistic structure, we integrate acoustic wall panels to absorb heavy sound impact, along with automated target retrievers (trolleys) controlled from safe booths. This creates a comfortable, professional space for defense academies, police academies, and private shooting clubs.
Cushioned ballistic panels combined with automated target retriever systems.
We manage the entire construction lifecycle, from base structure reinforcement to ballistic panel installation, ventilation setup, and target control wiring.
The engineering of a modern shooting range starts with the structural design. We design the steel frames using specialized design tools, calculating wind load parameters based on local weather records. Foundation design features reinforced concrete pedestal footings anchor-bolted with high-tensile fasteners to secure the main steel columns.
The primary columns and rafters are built-up steel sections fabricated in our quality-controlled factory. Once transported to the site, they are bolted together using high-strength fasteners. This avoids field welding, reducing structural defects. The wall cladding utilizes single or double-skin color-coated galvanized steel sheets.
Sports are highly sensitive to wind currents that affect ball flight. We design the ventilation system using gravity roof ventilators and wall-mounted louvers. This keeps the air fresh without creating strong, targeted drafts over the courts.
High-tensile AR500/Hardox steel plates lining the walls, ceiling, and structural posts to prevent bullet penetration.
Deep granular rubber traps that capture bullets intact, avoiding lead fragment fragmentation and backsplash.
Advanced HVAC systems providing a uniform laminar airflow, drawing toxic lead particles downrange away from shooters.
High-density soundproofing panels installed on side walls to absorb high muzzle report sounds and control echoes.
Digital wire-line target retrieval trolleys with touch-panel controls, allowing shooters to adjust target distances safely.
Bulletproof glass partitions separating the range master booth from shooting lanes, ensuring safe range monitoring.
Commonly used in metropolitan spaces. Features complete wall-to-ceiling ballistic steel cladding, automated target retrieval trolleys, and lead-dust extraction HVAC.

We manage the entire construction process from site inspection to final handover, ensuring every step meets our strict quality standards.
We work with the client to determine caliber capacities, range size, and target control requirements.
We test concrete floor load capacities and wall strength before mounting heavy steel panels.
We check design specifications against ISSF guidelines, planning lane widths and bullet trap capacities.
We create 3D drawings of the lane layout, target retriever loops, and exhaust duct positions.
We draw up details for structural steel frames, steel plates, filter systems, and wiring diagrams.
We calculate impact load parameters for ballistic wall plates to ensure safety under maximum calibers.
We source AR500 ballistic steel, granular rubber, HEPA air filters, and automated target trolleys.
We anchor support frames, weld steel plates, build the rubber traps, and fit the ventilation loops.
We check ventilation flow directions, test target retrievers, and run test firing to verify traps.
We run a final safety walk-through, checking exhaust filter seals, wall steel alignment, and emergency switches.
We hand over the keys to the new shooting range, along with safety manuals and quality certificates.
High-hardness armor plates designed to decimate bullets on impact, preventing structural wall penetrations.
