What is with the trench on the pistol range?

Grenade practice? 
WWI reenactments?

Civil war training? ;)

Think silhouette range is in the same situation as action bays

you've studied range design
that's not how it works...

Depends on what's coming back, how large are the pieces and how fast is it moving.  If it's not enough to break skin, then not an issue, just make sure everyone is wearing glasses.

If it is an issue then they could restrict distances by caliber or adjusting the target spacing.

the bays have a hill behind them
but in terms of certification and "proof" of safety, yeah...

I guess if I want to shoot steel with my handguns, I'll have to put the scope back on my Ruger SBH Hunter, or use my Mark IV with green dot

They built a chain link fence around the range to keep the chickens out....or in.
I dunno which.

Save the chickens!

The City might start fitting them with hearing aids and ear pros.  A lot of them were walking around clucking "PUH KAAACK!!"  (chicken speak meaning WHAT??!!" ;D

Heard that when range reopens that rifle range will only be shot at 100yds. No targets at 50yd. line.

No metal targets will be allowed.

How silly and utterly stupid.

But not surprising at all.

I didn’t see a berm at 50yds in the pictures so kinda makes sense to close the 50yd.  Hope they eventually put one up.  No steel target for the rifle range doesn’t look good for the silly side.  They should convert that to 50yd paper target range.

Silouette side would still need to have berms behind targets metal or paper.

the rifle range is designed and "certified" for 100 yards only
similarly, the pistol range is at 25 and 50

i fear for the other ranges...
