ActionTarget.com / 1 FEATURED NEW RANGES TNT GUNS & RANGE, MURRAY, UT One of Action Target’s newest ranges resides in Murray, Utah, just of Interstate 15. TNT Guns and Range celebrated their much anticipated opening in July this year. The surrounding hype is not only because it is the largest indoor range in the Moun- tain West, but also because the facility contains the Na- tion’s frst indoor clay pigeon shotgun range. TNT arose from the vision of two brothers, Tanner and Ty Nattress, who wanted to build a shooting range that ofered a more personalized approach. They strive to treat their customers with respect regardless of their ex- perience in the industry. TNT can accommodate anyone from beginners who have never held a gun to experienced shooters who desire an opportunity to train in a more advanced and customizable environment. The handgun and rife ranges boast the latest Action Target technology the industry has to ofer, including: § Total Containment Trap™ bullet traps § Spacious stalls with sliding doors for privacy § Wireless AWD Pro™ target retrievers that are pre-programmed with 27 training scenarios and games § 300-degree simulation system (panoramic handgun training simulator) TNT has a spacious retail area where customers may comfortably discuss and examine the wide range of prod- ucts for sale. There is also a restaurant–aptly named .357 Burgers–that serves delicious burgers and shakes. EGYPT SPECIAL FORCES, CAIRO, EGYPT In the fall of 2015, Action Target began a complex instal- lation on the outskirts of Cairo in Egypt.
