A lane, an instructor and a rental gun all have to be free at the same time, and every guest needs a signed waiver before they shoot. We build booking systems for shooting ranges and clubs: lanes by the hour, instructor sessions, waivers and ID checks, and payments, with the code and member data owned by you.

What a booking system for shooting ranges can do. Start with booking and payments; add the rest when you need it.
- Lanes by the hour: Guests book a lane for a set time, alone or as a group. Each lane type has its own length, price and limits. Built from the Agent Skill at /skills/time-slot-generator.
- Instructors: Sessions with an instructor, booked with a lane, so both are free at the same time.
- Waivers and ID checks: Guests sign the waiver while booking. Staff check the ID or licence at the desk, and the system keeps the record.
- Experience packages: Gift packages with a set of guns and rounds, sold online and used at booking. Built from the Agent Skill at /skills/ledger-wallet.
- Gun and ammunition rental: Rental guns and ammunition added to the booking, with stock counted per day.
- Members and clubs: Members book at their own price, with their licence and training history on file.
- Check-in at the desk: Guests check in on a touchscreen, and the lane is assigned at once. Built from the Agent Skill at /skills/booking-kiosk.
- Payments: Card payment or a deposit at booking, and invoices for companies.

How your team runs it: Range officers and the manager work in one panel: lanes by hour, instructors, waivers and rentals.

When your own system is worth it:
- A lane, an instructor and a rental gun must all be free at once
- Every guest signs a waiver and shows an ID
- You sell gift packages and company events
- Members and walk-in guests pay different prices

What shooting ranges gain over a SaaS platform:
- Your rules. On a SaaS platform: The tool books a time slot and knows nothing about lanes or guns. With your own system: Lanes, instructors and rentals are booked together, by your rules.
- Paperwork. On a SaaS platform: Waivers are signed on paper at the desk while the lane waits. With your own system: Waivers are signed online, and the desk only checks the ID.
- Packages. On a SaaS platform: Gift packages are sold in a separate shop. With your own system: Packages are sold, booked and used in the same system.
- Cost. On a SaaS platform: Fees grow with every booking and every lane. With your own system: One fixed price, with no commission on bookings.

FAQ:
- Q: Can guests sign the waiver online?
  A: Yes. Every guest in the booking signs the waiver on their phone before they arrive, and the desk sees who has signed.
- Q: Do you handle licence and ID checks?
  A: The system records what staff checked and when. The rules come from you and your local law, and we build them in.
- Q: How much does it cost?
  A: The price depends on the scope and is fixed before the build starts. Most projects fall between $15k and $50k. It is a one-time cost, with no subscription and no commission on bookings.
- Q: How long does it take?
  A: You get a clickable prototype and a quote within 48 hours of the brief. The build takes two to three weeks, and the system is live six to eight weeks after the first call, including migration and handover.
- Q: We already use a booking tool. What happens to our data?
  A: We move your customers, bookings and history into the new system, even when the current provider has no export. The old tool keeps running until the data matches, so bookings never stop.
- Q: Who owns the system?
  A: You do. The code, the data and the documentation are handed over. It runs in your own cloud account or on our infrastructure, and 3 years of support are included.
