Nestled in Noordermeerdijk, Creil, Flevoland, this isn’t just a shooting range—it’s a sanctuary for shooters of all kinds. A soft hum of advanced ventilation fills the air, mingling with the faint pop of a distant shot. Your heart skips a beat. Today, you’re here to explore the indoor haven of Dutch Precision Range, a place where every trigger pull tells a story. From pistols to airguns, rifles to dynamic courses, this is where shooters come to grow, connect, and prepare for the vast outdoor range beyond.
First Stop: The Pistol, Revolver, and Airgun Range
Your journey begins at the heart of the indoor facility: the general shooting range, a buzzing hub of possibility. The lanes stretch out, configurable to 10, 12.5, or 25 meters, ready for both firearms and air-pressured weapons. You pick a 10-meter lane, ideal for an airgun session. The digital target flickers to life, and with your first shot, data streams to your phone—shot placement, group size, instant feedback. It’s like having a coach in your pocket.
Switching to a 25-meter lane, you test a revolver, the challenge intensifying as the distance grows. Adjustable lighting keeps your focus razor-sharp, and the air feels clean, thanks to a filtration system humming overhead. A beginner in the next lane grins, nailing their first airgun shot at 12.5 meters, guided by a certified trainer’s encouraging nod. “This place makes learning easy,” they say, and you get it. Whether you’re a rookie with an air pistol or a seasoned shooter with a .45, this range bends to your needs, welcoming pistols, revolvers, and airguns with open arms.
Next Up: The 100 Meter Indoor Rifle Section
Drawn deeper into the facility, you enter the 100 Meter Indoor Rifle Section, a cathedral of precision—and a critical stop for shooters prepping for the outdoor range. The air is steady, untouched by wind or rain, letting you lock onto the target with laser focus. You settle into a lane, clutching your .308 caliber rifle, ready to zero it for a day on the outdoor course. The (digital) target system springs to life, tracking each shot and beaming results to a nearby monitor. You adjust your scope, fire, and the app confirms a tight group. Your rifle’s dialed in, ready for the long-range challenge outside.
This section isn’t just for zeroing, though. It’s a haven for small-bore and air rifle shooters, too, with sound-dampening walls keeping distractions at bay and climate control ensuring consistency year-round. A range safety officer stands nearby, their experienced eyes scanning the lanes to ensure every shooter follows protocol. “It’s like the range is coaching me,” a fellow shooter murmurs, tweaking their scope for a practice session. You nod, feeling the same. Whether you’re sighting in a .308 or chasing tighter groups with an air rifle, this is where accuracy takes root.
The Thrill of the Dynamic Shooting Section
The energy shifts as you step into the Dynamic Shooting Section. Here, it’s all about action. Moving targets dart across your sightline, and obstacles demand quick feet. You pick a course, and the digital timer kicks off, daring you to beat your best. Interactive screens throw up virtual scenarios—a tactical breach, a split-second call. Your pulse races as you hit the mark, the target pinging back confirmation.
Certified range safety officers keep a watchful eye, their calm authority ensuring every move is secure. Reinforced walls and mandatory gear make safety feel effortless. “This is where I learned to think fast,” a grizzled shooter tells you, reloading with a grin. You feel it too—here, you’re not just shooting; you’re mastering the art of adrenaline, guided by professionals who know the craft inside out.
The Invisible Shield: Safety and Sustainability
As you weave through the range, safety wraps around you like a shield. Bullet traps, built to EN 1522 standards, swallow every round without a whisper of ricochet, whether it’s a .308 or an airgun pellet. Biometric scanners guard the doors, ensuring only authorized shooters enter. Certified trainers and range safety officers, with years of experience, maintain a vigilant presence, conducting thorough briefings and regular checks to keep the environment secure. The air stays clean, scrubbed of lead by high-efficiency filtration, and acoustic panels hush the noise, letting you lose yourself in the shot.
Then there’s the green heartbeat of the place. Solar panels gleam overhead, powering 80% of the facility. Rainwater fuels the systems, and eco-friendly materials—FSC-certified wood, low-CO2 concrete—promise a lighter footprint. You’re not just shooting straight; you’re part of a future that treads lightly on the earth.
The Heartbeat: Community
Your day ends in the canteen, where the air hums with laughter and stories. A beginner swaps tips with a veteran over coffee, while a kid in the visitors’ center marvels at an interactive display, eyes wide with wonder. The classrooms nearby buzz with a KNSA-certified course led by an experienced trainer, and you spot a group planning their next club event. This isn’t just a range—it’s a hub. A place where skills grow, friendships spark, and the love of shooting ties everyone together.
As you head for the exit, the truth sinks in: Dutch Precision Range is more than steel and targets. It’s a proving ground, a sanctuary, a legacy in the making. From the pistol and airgun lanes to the dynamic courses, every corner invites you to grow, to challenge yourself, to belong. With your .308 zeroed and your skills sharpened, you’re already planning your next visit—maybe to conquer the outdoor range next.
