Range
The NRA Range is located in the
lower level of the NRA Headquarters tower. It is open to the public
and welcomes more than 100,000 visitors annually.
Our state-of-the-art range features several enhancements, including:
Touch-Screen Target Retrieval The
NRA Range is the first to utilize this cutting-edge technology that
was specially designed by Eddy Esworthy, the president of
TargetWorx. Esworthy is not only a renowned design engineer, he's a
former USA Shooting Team member. Esworthy spent years perfecting
this system, which features a touch-screen user interface and
½-inch accuracy out to any distance.
Sophisticated Air Filtration System This
advanced system uses three-tier filtration and the medical grade
HEPA filters that are commonly used in operating rooms. The result
is that the air goes back into the environment cleaner than it was
brought it in. The technology not only meets, but exceeds, all
OSHA, NIOSH and EPA standards - ensuring the NRA Range is a clean,
safe place to shoot.
Hard Ceramic Flooring and Sound Deadening Wall
Material Studies have shown that the
harder the floor surface is, the more shallow the angle of
ricochets when a round impacts the floor. The resurface at the NRA
Range has a 17,000 psi rating - which is a much harder surface than
the standard 3000 psi concrete floors found in most ranges. These
renovations provide for a safer range environment.
The NRA HQ Range is open six days a week. All first-time users
will be required to complete a range safety test prior to shooting.
This is an educational exercise, not a graded test. There is a
one-time $10 processing fee for the test.
