The Truth About Bullet Traps

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... then we are extremely flattered! The introduction of Savage Range Systems patented Snail Trap technology has revolutionized the shooting range industry. Smash-plate range systems are becoming obsolete and today's environmental standards are forcing many ranges to comply in order to exist. Military and civilian range operators have come to Savage for the best and safest solution. Our competitors have been watching. Forced with the realization that their previous range design is no longer adequate they are scrambling to catch up. But it takes more than imitation.

The truth is:

• Savage has pioneered and patented slope design to minimize bullet disintegration.
• Savage has invented the wet system to completely minimize airborne lead for the safest ranges in the world. We meet and exceed all OSHA standards.
• The Snail® System uses a biodegradable fluid to capture lead dust and particles and it is completely safe for both shooter and personnel. It is the most environmentally sound range anywhere!
• A 12° plate angle IS better than a 15° plate angle. Any child who has skipped a rock across a pond will tell you the lower angle deflects easier. It better prevents ricochet and adds to the longevity of the ramp.

Savage Range Systems wet traps are clean, easy to maintain and have the lowest life-cycle costs of any range on the market today!

Sure the competition is trying to catch up - they have a long way to go - but Savage continues to design and build superior ranges so your range personnel and shooters are safe, the environment is protected and your budget is at ease.
