Project Description

Tower Construction worked closely with the Department of Environmental Management’s Division of Fish & Wildlife to renovate The Great Swamp Shooting Range. Located within the Great Swamp Management Area in South Kingstown. The project significantly upgraded both shooting opportunities and safety measures at Rhode Island’s only public shooting range.

Completed in late-summer 2018, the Great Swamp Shooting Range uses the latest industry standards for safety and management practices. Everything from the bench design, baffles, and curtains between shooting stations was designed to create a safe, comfortable, and environmentally-friendly shooting experience. Additionally, solar energy is used for powering the range office to help reduce energy consumption.

The improved range includes 50-yard and 100-yard shooting lanes. Both the 50-yard and 100-yard shooting lanes have been outfitted with overhead safety baffles and earthen backstops to prevent bullets from exiting the range. The baffles are covered in mortar board to prevent ricochets and muffle the sounds of gunfire.
