Range Systems shall complete delivery of the Dura-Panels no later than ten (10) days from the Commencement
Date (the "Delivery Time"). Unless performance is excused, as set forth in Paragraph 2.2, Range Systems'

administrative or other costs or expenses; provided, however, that if the time for achieving delivery is materially

the mastic dries and start with an ADP cut to 12" x 24". This ensures.the ADPs will be
staggered during the installation which maximizes their acoustic abatement properties.
Continue to install the entire second row then move to the third then fourth rows. The fifth
row will require ADPs cut to l' x 2' to complete your 9' high wall.

Range Systems Acoustical Dura-PaneP'M Researd1:
Range Systems, in its continued effort to provide the safest shooting range and training environment
available. has developed a product called the Acoustical Dw'aMPane(l'Y, that can be integrated into any new
or existing shooting ninge environment
Range Systems Patented Acoustical Dura-PaneJTM was designed and tested for its ability to abate sound and
decrease the dangerous noise impact experienced on gun ranges - with dnnnatic resuhs.
Through statistically sound research. Range SyStems has found the product to be exceptionally effective in
decreasing sound; while still maintaining its original ability to oncapsulate rounds eliminating the conccm
for ricochet, airborne lead. or splatter. (Please see attacbed Jq)Ort for method. equipment and results)
Results:
Sound generated by all objec:ts. including Jirearma. is measumd in Hertz. Fireanns generally register
between 1,000 to 4,000 Hertz when fired. understanding the lWUority generate between 2,000 to 4,000
Hertz.
Range Systems Acoustical Panel demonstrated the following results:
. Absorbed 10% of all sound at t,()()() (Hz)
. Absorbed 95% of all sound at 2,000 (Hz)
. Absorbed 115% of all sound at 4,000 (Hz)
(Note: 100010 absorption of sound is considered perfect. The data showing 115% absorption al4.000 (Hz)
is due to the product design being 3-dimcnsiooal. The design of the aC>>USticalpanel protrudes vertically
allowing for this exceptional ped'ormancc)
In comparing Range Systems Acoustical Dura-PanelTM to other sur.fa<:es common to shooting ranges, again,
the results are outstanding: (please see attached published standards for Absorption Coefficients for

Another look at the data shows Range Systems Acoustical Dura-Pancl'fN to provide:
. Approximately 1000/0 greater sound abatement (noise reduction) than poured concrete.
. Between 85% to over 1000/. greater sound abatement (noise reduction) than plywood.
. 90% greater sound aba~ (noise Rlduction) than coarse concrete blocks at 4,000 (Hz)111

Acoustic Dura-Panel (ADP) Installation: '
1. Apply 3/8" bead of mastic adhesive in the fOllowing pattern to the rear of the ADP (beveled
edge out):

2., Starting from the lower left corner of the trap, apply ADP. Gently pull back ADP and re-apply.
This allows for gases from the mastic to escape and ensures a strong bond.
3. Continue to apply the first row of ADPs by alternating the direction .of the lines in the ADP.
4. Move the second row of ADP. Use other ADPs to hold the first row of ADPs in position while
the mastic dries and start with an ADP cut to 12" x 24". This ensures. the ADPs will be '
staggered during the installation which maximizes their acoustic abatement properties.
Continue to instaUthe entire second row then move to the third then fourth rows. The fifth
row will require ADPs cut to l' x 2' to complete your 9' high wall.
When complete~ wall section will look like this:

Range Systems Acoustical Dura-PaneJ'l'N Research:
Range Systems. in its continued effort to provide the safest shootiDg range and training onvironmen1
available. has dc:Yeloped a product called the Acoustical DuraooPanePM, tbat can be integrated into any new
or existing shooting range enviro~
Range Systems Patented Acoustioal Dtua-PancJTN was designed and tested for its abili1y to abate sound and
decrease the dangerous noise impact experienced on gun ranges - with dramatic results.
Through statistically sound rescarcb. Range Systems bas found the product to be exceptionally ctJective in
decreasing sound; while 8IiIl maintaining its original ability to ~IWe rounds climinating the conc;cm
for ricochet. airborne lead. or splatter. (Please see attached report for method, equipment and results)
Results:
Sound geoorated by all objects. inchvlh\g Jirearms, is me8SlIRld in Hertz. Firearms gcnc:raIly register
between 1,000 to 4,000 Hcrtzwbell fired. understanding the _ority generate between 2,000 to 4.000
Hertz.
Range Systems Acoustical Panel demonstrated the following results:
. Absorbed 70% of all sound at 1,()()() (Hz)
· Absorbed 95% of all sound at 2,000 (Hz)
· Absorbed 115~ orall sound at 4,000 (Hz)
(Note: 100% absorption of sound is considered perfect. The data showing 115% absolption 814,000 (Hz)
is due to the pt'Oduct design being 3-c1imcnsiooal The dcsisn of the aoousti<:a1 panel protrudes vertically
allowing for this exceptional performance)
In comparing Range Systoms Acousticai Dura-PanefI'M to othet "I~ common to shooting ranses. again.
the results are outstanding: (Please see attached published standatds for Absorption Coefficients Cor

Another look at the data sbows Range Systems Acoustical Dwa-PanefI'N to provide:
. Approximately 100% greater sound abatement (noise reductioll) than poured concrete.
. Between 85% to over 100% greater sound abatement (noise reduction) than plyWood.
. 90% greater sound abaliemeat (noise reduction) than coarse concrete blocks at 4,000 (Hz)111
