Re: Flora Guns 100 meter underground shooting range coming soon
Congratulations!!
Great to see another range facility coming up in a great location!
Hope to see you guys presenting IDPA shoots in the future, as this will appeal to your broardest market and allow members to obtain DSS providing they put in the effort and attend the required number of shoots annually.
If you want some advise around setting up ranges to accommodate IDPA shots feel free to contact me.
Maybe some consultation before the ranges are built is an idea.
Wishing you all the best with this venture!!

Re: Flora Guns 100 meter underground shooting range coming soon
A couple of things from my side, rifle shooter primarily.
Going underground is expensive and will need concrete. If you going to spend all the money on concrete why not get concrete preforms made and stay above ground, this way you can become modular and add lanes at minimal cost, these can be covered with creepers etc to make the range unobtrusive. Or you can cast your own preforms.
You must have a place where people can sit and eat basic food like sandwich's and burgers and something to drink. This is also very useful revenue and can get the fairer sex their with the kids if there is a modest playground.
You need protection from the elements so outdoor ranges need 100% protection from UV and direct sun. Shade cloth is not the answer.
Most rifle ranges I go to I encounter people developing loads rather than plinking, one should consider these unique requirments. Possibly a small area protected from the wind with a decent powder scale and press or two for seating bullets. Small investement for another return, obviouly there will be an additional charge for this range with attached faciltity. Agree with havinf a chrony available.
If possible segregate lanes for heavy calibre's vs. lighter calibres. These can be allocated on the day depending on the mix of firearms on the range. Saw this on the bridge across Sidney harbour, in the morning there are more lanes open going one way which is reversed for the afternoon traffic.
Must have adjusting seats for the benches.
Have lockable "kit rooms" for various hunting clubs etc. these can be rented on a annual basis for these organistions to store discipline specific kit.
You asked for it.One too many wasted sunsets and one too many for the road .........
