Hi guys,

I'm looking for a UK supplier of the granulated rubber bullet traps for an indoor range. I've come across loads from the US but don't seem to find many from the UK.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thank you in advance!

Steve.

Steve, are you describing a sheet rubber curtain with shredded rubber behind? If yes then I'd be interested too.

My club used this system for some years until it became difficult to find anyone to refurbish it.

We now use a wall of ballistic rubber bricks stacked in front of steel plate. This has its own problems as the bricks are very heavy and, due to the build up of firearms residue, difficult to dispose of economically.

try giving Rich at the tunnels a ring, 01297 560049

they use this type of backstop in the 100 yrd range.
the 25 and 35 yrd ranges all use rubber curtain (linatex) in front of steel plates.

failing that, what about chipped rubber for playgrounds or shredded car tyres etc?

That's useful info, thanks.

Can you clarify - what sort of backstop do they use at 100 yards - ballistic block or linatex?

If you mean at the tunnel? Neither. Rubber chippings piled deep. Don't know what's under it all

Meggitt Ltd do this, I spoke to their UK rep at last years IWA show as a friend was replacing the bullet traps at their indoor range.
