Regularly clear steel traps of jackets and debris, and, if applicable, schedule professional rubber berm reclamation to remove lead, recover metals, and keep your rubber berm trap safe and effective.
Consistent range maintenance protects shooters, preserves equipment, and helps you stay compliant—whether it’s a home range, LE training facility, or military installation.
Routine HEPA vacuuming, bullet trap cleaning, and scheduled equipment inspections reduce safety risks, prevent unexpected downtime, and keep operations running smoothly.
Action Target Range Services provides full-service support, including maintenance plans, lead management and recycling programs, and expert technical assistance, to keep your range in peak condition.
Regardless of the size or purpose of your range, proper maintenance is the key to the difference between predictable performance and costly disruption. When routine maintenance is overlooked, the consequences can be severe, ranging from air quality hazards to damaged equipment and regulatory violations.
For professional facilities, downtime directly impacts revenue and training schedules. For home ranges, it can put family and guests at risk. In every case, consistent maintenance extends equipment life, upholds warranty protections, and ensures your investment continues to perform at its best.
There are six key areas that require consistent attention, regardless of your range type.
HEPA vacuum floors, walls, shooting stalls, and ballistic baffles, clean target retriever tracks and overhead structures on a set schedule, wipe stall surfaces with D-Lead Wipes, and replace ventilation/DCU filters as specified to keep lead and dust under control.

Every visit includes full product inspections, on-site servicing, and hands-on staff training. These packages help reduce emergency repairs, maintain compliance, and protect your equipment warranties. Most importantly, they keep your range open and ready to perform.
Every Action Target range includes detailed cleaning and maintenance documents that turn best practices into clear, repeatable routines. Our Range Cleaning Plan, Maintenance Logs, and Maintenance Schedule break maintenance down by zone (firing line, stalls, traps, berms, and support equipment) and specify the PPE and frequency, so your team knows exactly what to do and when.
By following these guides and logging work, you help keep your range safe, clean, and operational while supporting OSHA/EPA compliance and protecting your Action Target warranty.
