Range Design and Safety Handbook
National Rifle Association
The NRA has published the Range Design & Safety Handbook (Edition 1) – available here – to assist civilian range operators in applying best practice to the operation of civilian rifle ranges.
The Handbook is based on safety principles contained in MOD design standards for military ranges referencing information available on ballistic properties of materials, ricochet, penetration and backsplash. It applies that data to the operation of ranges in the context of civilian marksmanship activities.
This Handbook will be updated as new information becomes available, following a risk-based approach on best available evidence. Please refer to the NRA website to ensure you are referencing the latest version. It should be read in conjunction with the NRA Range Managerâs Guide, Issue 1 2018 – available here
The NRA would like to acknowledge the considerable contribution of Maj (Retd) FS Compton MBE RE in the production of this Handbook.
