Sooo can anyone point me in the direction of regulations for having a rifle range?
Cheers,

Hi. So it appears that neither the Army or the NRA are in a position to sign off a range any longer. Basically this now comes down you and your insurer.
If you are serious about building and getting a range signed off and I can send you details of an eminently well qualified consultant to help you through the minefield. Excellent bloke and very reasonably priced.

Its really easy,you must get on and build it quickly-in Essex.

I think we are both confused now, perhaps time to start again.
My excuse is the wife and daughters have just come into the room and are rabbiting away and demanding that I listen to them.
The way that I look at the present system of "certification or approval" is that you have to be able to demonstrate to your insurers if necessary that the design and construction of your range conforms to a recognised approved standard, and that the suitably qualified and experienced consultant provides evidence to this effect normally in the form of certification in conjunction with a set of plans.
This has been interesting. I find it quite amazing that the NRA have abdicated responsibility for approving civilian ranges. Surely (a) it's in the best interests of the sport to have more places we can shoot and (b) if they don't want to be the ultimate body to regulate the sport and accept the responsibilities attached to that, then they should be replaced by a different organisation that does.
