I'm not sure if this is where this thread needs to be or not, but I would like to find someone (or a company) in Indiana that would have info on what Indoor Gun Ranges use for bullet traps. Of course I've googled this and have found various items, but I think i have a little different range than a commercial use range.
I'm building a personal use, 1 lane, indoor 'test fire' range under the wrap around porch of our new house we are building:
Currently, 8' wide x 50' long 9"-10" thk concrete walls and ceiling. These will be skinned in AR steel to protect the concrete, but I also want to put some Kevlar up in front so if there is an idot in the range that actually hits a wall, hopefully the Kevlar would help to reduce the chance of any ricochet.
Air supply/return ran on one 50' side. Supply is above where the shooter will stand, with return at the end where the bullet trap will be.
2 exterior vents on the opposite 50' side. First vent is right at the end of the muzzle where the shooter stands and other vent is beside where the bullet trap will be.
Looking to have this complete by 2018 but with young kids and a demanding career, we'll see when it actually gets done!
Any thoughts, tips or leads on the bullet catch/trap will be much appreciated!
