New local shooting range promises a clean environment

PROVO, Utah – Field Time Target and Training in Stanton has teamed with Action Target to create a state-of-the-art shooting range for firearms training. The new facilities which are located just northeast of the Beach Blvd. and Katella Ave. intersection include a firearms and ammo retail store, two indoor shooting ranges and classrooms for in-depth instruction.

“Orange County is range deprived,” said Field Time owner Greg Caringella. “There was a great need for another range in the Orange County area and I think our range is going to have an extremely positive effect on the community.”

The new facility includes two 25-yard indoor ranges with 14 lanes each. One side was specifically designed for civilian use and utilizes digital target retrieval systems for fast results. The other side was designed with local law enforcement in mind and includes a pneumatic target system from Action Target capable of turning 180 degrees. In the future, police departments will be able to use this system to test officers’ decision-making abilities in tactical situations with hostile and friendly turning targets.

With the help of Action Target, the world’s largest manufacturer of shooting range equipment and technology, Caringella made sure that his range is as safe and comfortable as possible for shooters.
“I’ve been inside shooting ranges my whole life, and I would always come out feeling like I breathed in half of all the debris that went down range,” Caringella said. “I wanted to create a shooting range where you could leave without feeling like you needed to take five showers.”

Caringella said he feels like he has accomplished his goal through the use of quality materials and safety technology. Both ranges are equipped with Carey’s air ventilation systems to protect shooters from lead dust contamination and debris.
“The air coming out of our range is much cleaner than the air you breathe outside,” Caringella said. “Our range presents itself as something you would find in your living room.”

Field Time Target and Training will officially open to the public May 26 but a pre-opening celebration will be held May 19-20. Everyone is invited to come enjoy barbecue pulled pork and chicken at the range from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

At the pre-opening event, Field Time will also raffle off a Springfield XD .40 handgun, a Ruger 10/22 rifle, a Mossberg home protection 12 gauge shotgun, and various 5.11 Tactical gear. The raffle will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Participants do not need to be present to win.
