G.A. RITTENHOUSE
Every round you’ve ever fired is still downrange. We recover the projectiles from your berms and bullet traps, haul them out, and melt the metal in our own furnace — which is why the metal can offset the cost of the job.
We own the furnace. Your brass doesn’t pass through a broker on its way to a smelter — it comes to ours, in Houston. Fewer hands in the middle is why we can pay more, or charge less.
Projectiles and fragments recovered from impact berms on outdoor rifle and pistol ranges.
Steel and rubber traps emptied on indoor ranges, with the recovered metal hauled out.
We take the brass on the same trip. See range brass recycling.
Anything live we find goes through our proprietary popping furnace before it is melted, with a certificate of destruction for your records.
Years of rounds build up in an impact berm. We recover the projectiles and fragments and haul the metal out, so the backstop keeps doing its job.
Rifle, pistol and shotgun ranges, public or private, a few lanes or a few hundred.
We look at your backstops, how long since the last cleanup, and access for equipment.
Our crew recovers the projectiles and fragments and separates them from the soil or trap media.
The recovered metal leaves on our trucks. No piles left on your property.
The metal goes into our furnace in Houston. Its value is credited against the job.
Indoor ranges collect the same metal in a smaller space. We empty steel and rubber bullet traps and take the recovered metal back to our furnace.
Tell us your trap type on the form and we’ll plan the visit around your hours.
Because we own the furnace, recovered metal is worth more to us than to a contractor who has to sell it on. That shows up in your price.
Projectiles, brass and live rounds handled in one visit, by one company.
Our trucks reach most of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle within a day.
It depends on how many rounds go downrange. Busy ranges are often cleaned every year or two; lighter-use ranges less often. We’ll look at yours and tell you honestly whether it’s worth doing yet.
It offsets it. On a heavily used range that hasn’t been cleaned in years, the metal can cover a large share of the cost. We’ll show you both numbers.
We empty bullet traps and recover the metal from them. Tell us your trap type on the form.
Usually only the lanes or bays we’re working on, and we schedule around your busiest days.
Yes, and most ranges have us do both in one visit.
They go through our proprietary popping furnace before any metal is melted, and you receive a certificate of destruction documenting it.
Only your name and email are required. A photo of the berm or the trap helps us scope the job.
