How much acoustic material do I need?

We adhere to the Air Forces’ ETL specification. These specification require acoustical treatment on the entire back wall of the range, side walls up to the second baffle row, area overhead from the second baffle row to the back and side wall of the range. The acousticcal material is fire rated, proven to be anti richoett and back splatter, and with a reverb dissipation rate of 1.25 seconds or less.

How thick do my walls need to be?

Do I need to protect my range walls?

We recommend at a minimum to cover your walls 3 -5 baffle rows towards the trap and then everything back from that point. Side and rear wall(s), the baffle lines, the safety ceiling and the space or egress behind the shooting line. This does not mean you need a ballistic plate lining the walls, but if your walls are not solid, then you will have to line your walls. If you plan to have full functioning tactical range you will need additional features if you plan to shoot at your wall, please contact us for further information.
