Slight topic swerve. Howick Indoor Range was going through some challenges on maintenance a few years ago on their indoor range after 10+ years of heavy use by rimfire rifle, pistol and air rifle shooters. Decontamination of the bullet trap, updating air filters for the fans (and decontaminating them) with all the vapourised lead floating around, updated regs on min air flow and working out a better way of cleaning the lead dust on concrete floor as the original plan when designed/built back in the day to simply wash everything down regularly into drains. Now reg don't allow that waste water to be flushed into the system and must be collected and removed by certified/qualified companies.

Shot there for many years, I left after in fighting on the H&S Committee because the only way to do things, is the right way, which isn't necessarily the cheapest way I don't know where they are now with this. Birkenhead Indoor range under the sports stadium suffered the same problem, couldn't decontaminate/clean correctly and they closed down. YouthTown decontamination is a biggie too.
