Hot Rods & Handguns Shooting and Social Club in Huntington Beach, California blends a classic car–themed atmosphere with a members-only experience built around far more than time on the firing line: three restaurants, four bars, lounges, retail spaces, event rooms, training classrooms, and near-daily programming that spans from competitions and car shows to corporate gatherings and women’s events. Opened in Fall 2020 with tiered membership options, the facility is designed as a true destination, with indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces that support social time before and after range sessions. At its core are two stacked, 8-lane fixed firing line bays equipped with Action Target systems that are engineered for consistent performance and smooth throughput.

Building two shooting range bays on separate levels created a unique set of airflow and infrastructure demands, requiring careful coordination to keep each range environment consistent, comfortable, and safe.
Stacked bays required each level to perform like a standalone range environment
Systems had to support consistent conditions on both floors during peak use
Layout decisions prioritized reliability without sacrificing the premium feel
A key challenge was fitting two recirculating HVAC systems on a single roof
Ducting had to route cleanly to both the second-floor and first-floor bays
Airflow planning ensured proper movement and exchange where it matters most
Mechanical routing considered access for maintenance and future adjustments
Integration choices minimized downtime and kept operations running smoothly
The end result supports repeatable performance for day-to-day range use
