Different Kinds of Shooting Ranges On Which You Can Use Speed Beez Speedloaders

Not all shooting ranges are created equal. They’re got a long history and have evolved from “somebody’s backyard” to “highly mechanized and technological wonders.” Which one do you prefer, and which one is best if you’re sporting a speedloader?

Outdoor: The original shooting ranges were always outdoors, of course. Before populations became more dense, it was possible to simply set up a firing range with wide-open space behind it. Firing ranges moved to berms to stop the bullets from traveling too far, especially since the bullet was traveling farther with the invention of rifled barrels. While many pistol shooters moved inside with their speedloaders, outdoor ranges are usually preferred for rifles because of the greater distances one can shoot at.

Indoor: Indoor shooting is becoming more and more popular, simply because most of us enjoy the comforts of a heated space in the middle of winter and being out of the hot sun in summer. Indoor ranges are great because they can also offer motorized target movers so that no one ever has to step foot over the firing line. Pistols and smaller arms are preferred, as most ranges can’t handle high-powered rifle rounds.

Bobbers: Shooting a stationary target is one thing…shooting at something moving is another. Bobbers on the range allow you to know when, and when not to, move your arm or wait for the target to come back into the line of fire. Bobbers are an excellent way of coupling timing with accuracy. Want a real challenge? Add a speedloader to the mix!

Tactical rooms: Originally a tool of SWAT teams, tactical rooms are becoming more common for people who want to use their firearms in a situation in which both they and the targets are moving. It’s not where anyone should start their shooting range experience, but is good for those who want to learn how to handle themselves in high-stress situations.

Not everyone needs every type of firing range, and not every firing range needs a speedloader. No matter where you shoot, be safe out there.
