Action Target’s Purge Ventilation System provides continuous, high-efficiency air filtration that protects shooters and staff by removing lead dust and airborne contaminants before releasing cleaned air back into the environment. By drawing in fresh air, filtering it through a multi-stage system—including high-performance HEPA filters—and exhausting it safely outdoors, the Ventilation Purge System maintains air quality that exceeds OSHA, EPA, and NIOSH standards .
Designed for reliability and seamless SmartRange Axis™ integration, the Ventilation Purge System ensures proper airflow, negative pressure, and climate comfort throughout the range—helping owners maintain a healthier environment, meet regulatory requirements, and deliver a safer shooting experience. Explore all of Action Target’s ventilation systems.
From your first question to your final shot, Action Target is your trusted partner—guiding you every step of the way.
Range air is cleaned from lead dust before being reintroduced to the range or released back into the atmosphere.
Systems adapt to changing environmental conditions to maintain required air speed and pressure conditions.
Downrange airflow keeps the range comfortable by moving particulates away from the shooter’s respiratory zone.
Effective purge ventilation keeps lead and combustion byproducts out of the breathing zone. By combining laminar airflow, negative pressure, make-up air, and filtered exhaust, your range stays cleaner, safer, and compliant. Contact a range consultant for a more detailed purge system briefing.
Navigate the hotspots to see all components of a purge ventilation system.
Digital controls with SmartRange AXIS™ give operators a live view of fans, airspeed, and filter life, enable safety checks, and allow remote monitoring and service to keep purge ventilation operating reliably.
Laminar diffusers smooth and control air supplied by the ventilation system, spreading flow evenly across the firing line to reduce turbulence, keep lanes covered in clean air, and prevent shooters from breathing lead-contaminated air.
The system maintains negative pressure at the firing line, pulling lead dust away from shooters toward the bullet trap at 75 feet per minute—surpassing NIOSH minimums—before routing air into the filtration train for final cleaning.
The REF pulls contaminated air from the range through high‑efficiency filters and discharges cleaned air outdoors, protecting the surrounding area while exceeding OSHA, EPA, and NIOSH requirements for lead and other particulates.
The MAU conditions outside air for the range, filtering incoming air and supplying the volume needed to match exhaust. Available in heating-only or heating and evaporative cooling options to keep shooters comfortable year-round.
Action Target’s purge systems are engineered to quickly clear contaminated air from the range by drawing in fresh airflow, filtering it, and exhausting cleaned air safely back outside. Paired with SmartRange AXIS™, instructors and facility managers gain real-time visibility into airflow, filter life, and system performance.
Live monitoring of purge operation, temperature, airflow, and pressure conditions.
Immediate alerts for filter status, system warnings, and environmental variances.
Centralized control that synchronizes ventilation with training schedules and lane activity.
Purge mode rapidly replaces contaminated air with filtered, clean air.
Removes lead dust and airborne particulates generated during heavy live fire.
Designed to exceed OSHA, EPA, and NIOSH air-quality requirements.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Maintains airspeed and pressure stability even as environmental conditions change.
Outfit your range with professional-grade targets, PPE, cleaning gear, and range supplies.
A purge system is only as effective as its filtration, and Action Target uses a multi-stage filter configuration that ensures contaminated air is captured before it exits the facility. With 99.97% HEPA efficiency and configurable filter stacks, ranges can maintain safe exhaust quality while reducing maintenance demands.
HEPA filters capture 99.97% of hazardous particulates.
Systems can use prefilters, mid-filters, or bag filters depending on range volume.
Designed for long service life with predictable maintenance intervals.
Air is pulled downrange through negative pressure and directed into the filtration assembly.
Only fully treated, compliant air is released back into the environment.
Protects shooters, staff, and surrounding communities from airborne contaminants.
Maintains a stable, laminar airflow path behind the firing line for consistent ventilation.
Ensures contaminated air is carried safely toward the trap and into the filtration system.
Supports both intermittent purge cycles and continuous purge operation during heavy use.
Action Target’s Build Your Range tool lets you easily design your ideal shooting range. Everything from bullet traps to target systems is customized to your needs, space, and training goals.
