Shooting range insurance renewals can be scary. We looked at what insurance and safety sources have to say—and came up with five questions worth asking your agent before your next renewal.

Interested in target retrieval—but not ready to outfit the whole range? That works. Start with one. Maybe you've looked at a Gopher Xtreme and thought it could be a good fit for your outdoor range.

Most range equipment looks fine on day one. The question is how it holds up after months of constant use, weather, and the kind of hard handling that real ranges deal with every day. That’s why we build Gopher Target Retrieval Systems the way we do. Heavy 12-Gauge Steel Our systems start with heavy 12-gauge steel — roughly a tenth of an inch thick. This is not light sheet metal.
