Outdoor Range Facilities
Home > Instrumentation, Equipment, and Facilities > Firing Facilities > Outdoor Range Facilities
In some cases, it may be necessary to use an outdoor firing range, particularly if the indoor range is too short.
Outdoor range facilities may be necessary under the following circumstances:
- Longer distance shot pattern testing
- Indoor facility construction limits the use of high power ammunition
- Additional space required to reproduce a shooting scenario
- Indoor facility construction limits the use of fully automatic firearms
- Accuracy testing at greater ranges
Disadvantages of using outdoor ranges not under laboratory control include:
- Availability and scheduling
- Permission may be required to conduct testing
- Adherence to local laws and agency regulations
- Weather conditions
