Outdoor Shooting Range FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the minimum land needed for an outdoor shooting range?
That depends on the caliber being fired, range type, and containment approach. For example, a basic 100-yard rifle range may require 3–5 acres, while tactical or multi-bay facilities may need 20+ acres. We’ll help you evaluate site suitability and zoning.
Can Spire help with permitting and environmental compliance?
Yes. We work with environmental consultants and local officials to guide you through permitting, EPA compliance, stormwater management, and noise mitigation requirements.
Do I need a bullet trap for an outdoor range?
Not always. Many outdoor ranges use earthen berms. However, steel bullet traps like our Helix™ can reduce lead contamination and maintenance costs—especially for high-volume or LE ranges.
What types of target systems are available?
We offer everything from manual steel plates and paper target carriers to automated turners.
How long does it take to build an outdoor range?
Project timelines vary by complexity, but most outdoor range builds take 3 to 9 months from design to completion, depending on permitting, site prep, and construction phases.
Can you design a multi-use range that supports both civilian and LE/MIL use?
Absolutely. We specialize in building flexible facilities that can support both recreational shooters and professional training—often with dedicated areas for each.
Do you offer maintenance or range upgrades?
Yes. Spire Ranges provides post-build inspections, range expansion services, and system upgrades as your facility grows or your needs evolve.
