While I may never have the means to do this. Out of all the videos you’ve done THIS is the one I’m most intrigued by

I know a farmer that build his own for cheap. He got left over giant cement pipes used on a construction job. They are huge like 8 feet diameter. He dug a trench from his basement foundation out out to 100 yards with a back hoe. Then put them together and I think used asphalt sealer. Then opened up the basement wall and sealed the tube to the basement. Buried it and and did some drywall work inside. Done! It did leak a few times due to rain and poor seal. Maybe not enough rock fill or something. Over all it worked well enough.

That was my first thought as well. The concrete culvert pipes deal with the ballistic issue but do not mitigate the noise. If I am not mistaken, there was a gent in New Jersey, did similar, though he was not in a rural area. Neighbors kept complaining about some sort of noise. Jurisdiction found out about it and rained all kind of hurt on this gent. Then again, it was New Jersey.

It's not so much the cost as much as the bull shit requirements.

Cool installation but let's be real about the topic. $80K for HVAC? Who did your SCFM calcs and spec'd the fan? There's concrete on the left wall so a poured wall on the right would be way less than AR500 steel. Certainly the ceiling would be an issue to cover. However, there's MULTIPLE ways to engieer the solutions than just "buying it." Bottom line... you can really, REALLY lower the cost if you look at options that aren't "industry provided" scope and if you have an engineering "friend" who could actually design it up. One example... build the retrieval system with a low cost servo motor and controller.

Awesome setup. If I could make one suggestion, painting the wall panels white would really help light transmission in the tunnel so it's not so dark. I don't think paint would interfere with the panels' function.

Thanks for this! I have been wondering what it all takes, and it’s honestly not as bad as I imagined.

Excavation is a big cost. Looks like a dark alley. I think a few $20 LED lighting bulbs shouldn't burst the budget.

Sorry, hate to play the "architect card", and yes, and I don't often admit this, but I am a licensed architect, but one thing that is totally ignored in this is zoning and permitting. To do this in new construction, depending upon the location, jurisdiction, etc, you are probably going to hit roadblocks. More rural areas, as someone mentioned, just build yourself an outdoor range. I certainly think it is workable, obviously if you have the jack, you can do it.

You can build for way less than what they are talking. I built a 2 lane range with nicer retrievers cameras for targets, I did do everything myself but it was 25% of his cost. The retrievers were a huge part of my cost. Steel was much cheaper when I bought but still doable for a lot less.

Used to do lead remediation at our 10 point range. We had the rubber pellets also. Starrted out with commercial equipment but up modifying or homebuilding every piece of equipment we used. As stated rakes and a huge commercial blower vac with, as I recall, about an 18' tube were used. Would take us most of the night to do one side (5 points) and finsih the other side the next weekend night. But we were running, I believe, 80,000 lbs of rubber per side. Also the rubber wasn't just piled against the wall. We had a framework that was stepped with traps at two different levels that could be opened from underneath on the horizontal steps. Also we built a walkway on the backside so we could stand and push the rubber down with rakes. We eventual found it was easiest to just push all the rubber onto the floor and vacuum it up thereby blowing back onto the framework. Using a crew of 6-8 people we eventuallly we able to clean five points in about 6 to 8 hours, half filling a 15 cubic foot dumpster.

Damn that's nice!!!

Seems like you could fix your lighting issues with LEDs downrange; if they get shot, no big deal, but put them on the reverse side of the baffles so probably not a huge risk. Curious if you put any fire suppression in; I'd be worried about accumulating a lot of unburned powder, etc. if you don't routinely clean the range. For new construction, I assume concrete or dirt would be a lot cheaper than AR550. HVAC is still expensive (including operating costs).

Great video and I was curious about the cost and I think this is the first time I heard how long the range is.

I'm too poor for this. I'm happy you can have this for yourself😊

No matter how much it costs or how much work it is to get it done having a shooting range in your home is cool as shit. Unfortunately for me I would have to utilize a much less expensive set up with mother nature ventilation and an earth berm for back stop and sides. Nice range and cool video.

Do you have any virtual shooting? I've been playing with AceXR. Curious what you think.

I would think as long as you get your CFM exchange per your space per standards/specs for your range and to make site the supply and return are forced the correct direction with hepa filtration, it should be good? What fresh air and filters do you recommend? There has to be a way to buying all inexpensive and simply, filter, suction fan, air supply trunk and diffuser, etc.

Is it just me that love hearing people just casually talk about things they know a lot about like it’s nothing

currently building a 20 yard range, all concrete encased. What air velocity is your HVAC system running at, like Feet Per Minute moving through the tunnel/downrange, 50-75? Is it effective at the firing line, or distractive? I'm not adding heat or air, just flow.

when researching doomsday bunkers i found these presidential bunkers had bowling alleys as well as gun lanes..totally cool as is the collectors set up.my wildest dream!

What ventilation company did you go with?

Yea, so if you’re thinking about building a one lane indoor range, you’re in luck, it’ll only cost you $1,000,000. Sounds pretty reasonable, and affordable in today’s economy.

I just googled this a few days ago because of your other videos! Weird coincidence…😂

That's dope I like that

Wow! Yeah, I would.

Did you have to get permits?

I tend NOT to go to my local gun range in the summer. They are cheap and the heat is unbearable. Most of Puerto Rico indoor ranges are.

I bet if you put egg crate foam behind the metal gub racks. It would help with reverberation and sound eco-ing with the mics. A lot of work for a slight improvement but an idea.

Always cool!

What's your reverb time in the range? Curious because of the acoustic walls you chose.

Mr. Piggy didn’t convince me at all!

I think this is very impressive that hallway looks so long crazy

Your life is my dream. Just know I’m living it through you

How did you handle building permits, and was your LEO involved with setting requirements and getting approvals?

Step 1- afford a house

Cheaper Idea... Do not build the lane under the house. Build it under bare earth, with concrete on all sides, rubber on all sides, and a rubber backdrop. This will remove the need for steel. Assuming you have the land, but at a price of steel, it is a better investment for the land than the steel.

Worked for Spire, they’re right down the road from Action Target. Maybe 5 miles tops?

what is that company that everyone uses for ventilation?

When I was an electrician the company I worked for won the bid for the Hvac system In the CSI building In a big city in the North.I signed a disclosure contract so I cant say where the building is or anything about how the building is made or anything about impound or evidence rooms.I can however talk about the 2 lane firing range..Both lanes are steel reinforced concrete.If I remember correctly the lanes were 50 yards everything was top dollar because it was tax payer funded.

Id like a 100 yd indore range for load development. Just bolt gun and maybe no wind zero on rifle. I was thinking of some way to use a 30 inch colvert for the tunnel ?

fucking outstanding! as usual i appreciate you being so generous and sharing your inner sanctum with your adoring fans. fucking MEGA!!!! cheers

Have to agree with his one dislike.... Its also my biggest con to indoor ranges... LIGHTING. 90% of the ranges I've gone to SUCK out past 15-20 yards. In a day where LED and LED spotlights are cheap, why are they still using 8 ft tube lights, where 80% of the light is sucked up by the black coverings all around. Put a light on the shuttle to illuminate the targets.

Now you gotta make a video on how to acquire the money. Legally lol
