Indoor Firing Range

The calm silence is broken in even succession by the crack of a sidearm being fired by sharpshooters and novices alike. The thin paper man, a target for the unwavering arm of the shooter, is riddled with holes like a slice is swiss cheese. A shooting range or firing range is a specialized facility designed for firearms practice. Discharge of firearms in indoor ranges can produce noise levels of over 140 dB of sound pressure. To combat this, it is commonly recommended to "double up" ear protection by using both earplugs and over the head earmuffs. To protect range bystanders from sound exposure, many modern ranges have an air-locked corridor for sound-proofing. In countries with gun laws heavily restricting the ownership and use of actual firearms, Airsoft guns often are used instead for "shooting range" practice.
