1. Each bay has it's own certification with the CFO. They are in essence seperate ranges.
2. Each bay is different. Bay A was designed for static shooting with 6 baffles that are 4 feet wide each. Bay B was designed for dynamic shooting with 7 baffles that are 8 feet wide.
3. Bay A uses 5/16" regular mild steel baffles which is pistol rated. Bay B uses 1/4" AR450 baffles which is rifle rated.
My direction is that only on rare occasions should rifle be shot in range A, like when we close a bay when someone is shooting. But no, it is not a regular thing.
Shotgun slugs/buckshot can be shot in either bay.
While the backstops are the same in both, i am concerned with damage to the baffles and high velocity richocets going up between the baffles.
So, short answer: no, you cannot shoot your 5.56 rifles this weekend at Target.
Plus, centrefire rifles are loud and we do not want to scare away the kids. Target is a family place.
