Lead poisoning...

Lead poisoning is indeed a serious hazard when shooting in obsolete indoor ranges built over a quarter of a century ago.  In these old facilities fired rounds smash into steel plates releasing clouds of deadly air borne lead!*

Moreover the closer the firing line is to the steel backstop the greater the risk that shooter's are being subjected to toxic levels of air borne lead (shooting on a 50ft range with a steel backstop is more dangerous than shooting on a 75ft range with a steel backstop - but both are dangerous).

Fortunately, there is an alternative.

Because we built our range to modern safety standards, rounds fired in either of Frontier Firearms' ranges do not smash into steel plates. Instead each round fired is gently "caught" in a three foot thick blanket of granulated rubber -- most rounds are recovered intact, undamaged.

Thus, you can shoot at Frontier Firearms without fear of being slowly poisoned and perhaps permanently incapacitated by air borne lead resulting from bullets blasting into steel plates. 

Additionally at Frontier one doesn't have to worry about injury from bullets bouncing off steel plates back toward the firing line.  We've all seen bullets bounce back and strike the shooter after firing into a steel backstop, but not at Frontier where we can shoot point-blank into our back stop!

So if you care about the safety of your loved ones or yourself, shoot at Frontier Firearms.

* Exposure to lead poisoning in indoor firing ranges comes primarily from inhaling lead dust created when the bullet strikes the steel backstop behind the target.
