Ammunition Availability: Frangible ammunition will be available for purchase from Kodiak. Kodiak is contracting with Precision Cartridge in NW Indiana to supply lead free ammunition. Precision Cartridge is one of only two commercial ammunition manufacturers in Indiana. Precision provides the ammunition for many law enforcement and public ranges. They manufacture a complete line of frangible lead free ammunition. They have the capacity to supply all the ammunition needs for Kodiak. In addition, some frangible ammunition will be supplied by Kodiak Armory. Reloading supplies will be available for purchase. Most specifically a complete line of frangible bullets for those who wish to reload on their own. Memberships: Memberships will be offered to the following: (see membership tab for details) 1. Individuals 2. Families 3. Law Enforcement 4. Corporations 5. Clubs EPA Regulations: The frangible ammunition is a composite of copper/tin alloy dust. It is totally lead free. As a result this facility is not subject to the lead problems suffered by other indoor ranges. The only requirement is there be a slight negative airflow which is vented to the outside. This is to keep the smoke and dust away from the shooter. The EPA will eventually mandate all indoor ranges use frangible ammunition because of the lead contamination factors. In anticipation of this more and more ammunition manufacturers are coming out with lines of lead free frangible ammunition. Fees: Research was completed compiling the cost of ranges around the country. Public Range: The public range is priced at $10 per hour plus $5 per extra person; maximum of 3 people per lane. Tactical Range: The Tactical Range is priced at $20 per hour plus $10 per extra person; maximum of 3 people per lane. Shooting Houses: Since there are no shooting houses open to the public the price was determined by reasonable fees for time. The public non-members will be charged $100/hr with a maximum of four people ($25/person) plus ammunition. Members will be charged $50/per hour maximum of 4 people. Off duty LEO's will be trained to take the shooters through the shooting houses. They will receive 50% of the hourly fee for this service. LEO's will be charged $50 per hour per four officers. A range officer is not required for law enforcement personnel to use the shoot house.
