At the 4-H camp where we shoot a number of competitions we have an opportunity to include a range in a multipurpose room in a new building. I am looking for suggestions on range design. Our desire is to design the range so that: (1) it "disappears" when not in use with little or no dismantling, possibly by putting up panels to cover the traps which have been built into a wall, (2) takes up a minimal amount of space, (3) through minimal , or no, modification can accomodate 3-P air rifle, air pistol or BB rifle, (4) well contains all fired projectiles for recycling or disposal, (5) if at all possible we would also like to be able to shoot indoor archery at the same venue.

Any suggestions, including the location of any existing facilities meeting these requirements, would be appreciated.
