Meggitt Training Systems to Highlight Decades of Range Experience at NRA Range Development Conference

Meggitt Training Systems builds on its long history of shooting range development at this year’s NRA Range Development Conference in Tempe, Ariz., Sept. 30 – Oct. 2. The NRA conference is geared toward first-time range owners, with Meggitt highlighting nearly a century of gun range design, equipment and installation.

Planning a shooting range facility is a major undertaking and must be done early to avoid problems later. Meggitt representatives will provide comprehensive information on equipment, planning and design recommendations, drawings and editorials beneficial to the successful development of a shooting range. Meggitt staff will also address range safety, bullet traps, target carriers and retrieval systems, shooting lane control and dividers, indoor range ventilation, lead hazards and a variety of customer support services.

“Meggitt has leveraged over 90 years of design, development, installation and support experience for more than 13,000 gun ranges fielded worldwide,” said Jonathan Read, director, live fire, Meggitt Training Systems. “Our experts offer solutions for the toughest challenges, including zoning regulations, ventilation, lead abatement, general environmental concerns and more.”
