The light breeze at your back is our ventilation system moving 100% FRESH air downrange, taking the contaminated air away from our guests and employees, resulting in NO smoke and NO gunpowder smell. Our vigilant but unobtrusive range safety officers will keep a keen eye on everyone's safety and are there to lend a hand when called on.
