Private Range Safety
Done Right
BUILT FOR SAFETY.
DRIVEN BY PRECISION.
OUR MISSION
We help prevent that. Range Operations brings clear, professional SDZ mapping and safety assessments designed to protect your club, your members, and your reputation. When the standards are rising and expectations are tightening, having a trusted expert ensures you stay safe, compliant, and open.
Every range carries risk, but most never see the warning signs until it’s too late. One overshoot, one ricochet, one complaint, or one insurance review can shut down an entire facility.
WHO WE ARE
Falconer Operations Group provides professional, standards-based range safety and compliance services built on real military experience and modern ballistic analysis. Our goal is simple: help ranges operate safely, confidently, and fully within today’s requirements.
We bring the same level of discipline and precision used on military training complexes to private ranges, clubs, and agencies. Every assessment, SDZ, and recommendation we deliver follows recognized safety standards and is designed to protect your shooters, your land, and your organization.
Whether you manage a small private range or a multi-lane training facility, we provide clear guidance, easy-to-understand documentation, and practical solutions you can implement immediately. Safety isn’t guesswork, and you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
HOW WE HELP
Every range faces one silent threat: a single unsafe angle or outdated berm can cause an overshoot, an injury, or a lawsuit that shuts the entire operation down. Most ranges are using outdated safety practices without realizing it. We provide the same professional safety standards used by the U.S. military — keeping your range compliant, protecting your members, and safeguarding your future.
