Engineered ballistic rubber trap systems from Paragon
Tactical need to be mined periodically to recover spent
bullets that have been fired into them. Our typical 10’
high range backstop can accommodate anywhere from
80,000 to 120,000 rounds per lane. Accordingly, small-
er Paragon Tactical bullet trap designs typically require
mining at more frequent intervals.
Third Party Range Mining Companies Typically
Mine The Bullet Trap Systems:
Paragon Tactical
keeps a current list of various companies throughout
the country, by region served. We recommend that
range owners contact firms from our list as they are
knowledgeable about our range technology and best
suited for directing the range metals to the appropriate
companies for further metal smelting.
Mine Range Backstops From The Front, Not The
Back:
For safety and liability reasons, Paragon Tactical
bullet traps are to be mined from the front. Range
owners should not try to modify or recover range
metals from the back of the range bullet traps as that
presents excessive danger to the maintenance crew.
Covering The Bullet Trap Is An Unnecessary
Expense:
Paragon Tactical does not recommend cover-
ing the granular or rubber media bullet trap systems as
the media gets restrictive. Ballistic rubber trap systems
need to allow the fired bullets to gravitate toward lower
regions and therefore need occasional raking. The ma-
jority of range owners that have acquired granulated
bullet trap systems with covers often end up removing
the covering completely

ing Range Mining for rubber bullet trap systems.
