Precision, Safety, and Innovation: The Construction of Granite State Indoor Range

Indoor shooting ranges require a unique blend of high-performance construction, specialized ventilation, and cutting-edge safety measures. When Granite State Indoor Range and Gun Shop decided to build a premier firearms training facility in Hudson, NH, they sought a contractor who could deliver precision, efficiency, and an unwavering commitment to safety. Jewett Construction stepped in to lead the way, transforming a vision into a state-of-the-art indoor firearms range.

Designing a Premier Shooting Facility

The design of Granite State Indoor Range had to account for multiple factors, including soundproofing, safety protocols, and air quality. Unlike traditional commercial projects, this build required specialized materials and engineering solutions to accommodate the unique needs of an indoor shooting range. The 12,960-square-foot facility includes two shooting ranges, firearms training rooms, a dedicated lounge for the Patriot Gun Club, office spaces, and a retail store.

Every element of the facility was designed with precision. From the carefully planned lane layout to the reinforced bullet trap systems, each aspect of the build was executed with industry-leading expertise. Jewett Construction collaborated closely with the project’s stakeholders to ensure that the facility not only met but exceeded all regulatory and safety requirements.

Fast-Track Construction: Completing the Project in Just Four Months

One of the standout aspects of this project was its rapid completion timeline. Indoor ranges involve extensive construction complexities, including specialized soundproofing, advanced HVAC systems, and security considerations. Despite these challenges, Jewett Construction completed the project in just four months, thanks to meticulous planning and expert coordination.

Some of the key factors that enabled this fast-tracked construction included:

  • Early Design Involvement: By bringing the design team on board from the outset, the project benefitted from seamless integration of architectural, engineering, and construction expertise.
  • Proactive Vendor Collaboration: Working directly with vendors who specialize in range ventilation, ballistic containment, and soundproofing allowed for streamlined decision-making and procurement.
  • Day-to-Day Adjustments: Constant communication and agile problem-solving ensured that every phase of the build progressed without unnecessary delays.

Innovative Safety Measures and Ballistic Protection

Safety is the number one priority for any indoor firearms range. Jewett Construction worked closely with the client and industry experts to implement cutting-edge protective systems designed to minimize risk while maximizing functionality.

Some of the facility’s key safety features include:

  • Specialized Ballistic Rated Walls: The walls of the shooting lanes are reinforced with industry-approved ballistic materials, ensuring that stray rounds do not penetrate adjacent areas.
  • High-End Bullet Trap Systems: The range features a sophisticated bullet trap system that safely captures rounds, reducing ricochet risks and lead contamination.
  • Sound Attenuation Panels: Specialized panels were installed throughout the range to significantly reduce noise levels, creating a safer and more comfortable environment for shooters and staff.

Advanced Air Filtration and Ventilation Systems

Indoor shooting ranges require highly specialized HVAC systems to manage air quality and prevent the accumulation of harmful lead dust and gunpowder residue. Jewett Construction partnered with industry-leading range ventilation specialists to integrate a state-of-the-art air filtration system at Granite State Indoor Range.

The system ensures a constant flow of fresh air while filtering out contaminants. This creates a healthier environment for both shooters and staff while ensuring compliance with OSHA and EPA guidelines. The range also includes a pressurized airflow system that directs air away from the shooter, further enhancing safety.

The Patriot Gun Club Lounge and Retail Experience

Beyond the shooting range, Granite State Indoor Range offers an exceptional customer experience with a dedicated retail store and an exclusive lounge for Patriot Gun Club members. These areas required careful planning and execution to ensure a seamless transition between the range, the training facilities, and the commercial space.

The retail store features high-end display cases, secure firearm storage, and an inviting layout that enhances the shopping experience. Meanwhile, the Patriot Gun Club lounge provides a relaxed setting for members to socialize, discuss firearms, and enjoy a premium experience beyond the range itself.

Collaborating with Key Industry Partners

Due to the specialized nature of the project, Jewett Construction collaborated closely with a number of trusted industry partners. Some of the key contributors to the success of the build included:

  • Port One Architects: Provided architectural design expertise tailored to the needs of a high-performance indoor range.
  • Summit Engineering: Offered structural engineering solutions to support the complex requirements of the facility.
  • Carey's Small Arms Range Ventilation: Delivered a cutting-edge HVAC system designed specifically for shooting ranges.
  • Meggitt Training Systems: Supplied advanced target retrieval systems and ballistic protection solutions.

Overcoming Challenges with Strategic Planning

Every construction project presents unique challenges, and an indoor range is no exception. One of the primary challenges involved aligning the complex mechanical, electrical, and security systems within a tight timeframe. The need for precision in range construction meant that every material selection and installation had to be flawless.

Jewett Construction employed a proactive approach, continuously coordinating between the client, vendors, and subcontractors to ensure that each component of the facility came together as planned. By maintaining open lines of communication and anticipating potential bottlenecks, the team was able to overcome obstacles without disrupting the aggressive schedule.

A Landmark Facility in the New England Firearms Community

Since its completion, Granite State Indoor Range has quickly established itself as a premier shooting facility in New England. It provides a safe, controlled environment for firearms enthusiasts, law enforcement training, and responsible gun ownership education.

The success of this project underscores Jewett Construction’s ability to execute complex, specialized builds with precision and efficiency. The combination of expert craftsmanship, innovative solutions, and dedicated teamwork resulted in a facility that not only meets industry standards but sets a new benchmark for indoor range construction.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Shooting Range Construction

As demand for advanced shooting ranges continues to grow, the future of firearms facility construction will likely incorporate even more technology-driven solutions. Smart shooting lanes, real-time analytics, and enhanced ventilation innovations will shape the next generation of training environments.

Jewett Construction remains at the forefront of these industry trends, offering expert guidance and technical expertise for future range developments. Whether it’s upgrading an existing range or designing a new facility from the ground up, Jewett’s team is committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that prioritize safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

If you’re looking to construct a state-of-the-art firearms training facility, trust Jewett Construction to bring your vision to life with unmatched precision and expertise.
