How does MATCH Address sdz And
vdz ConCerns?
The reason MATCH was invented in the first place was to create
a viable training environment with a zero Surface Danger Zone
—or SDZ—both inside and outside the structure. In fact, MATCH
is so safe you could even set it up in the range control parking
lot if you wanted to because every shot fired would be safely
contained within its walls. Of course, the noise generated by
all the gunfire would probably make the parking lot a poor
choice. All joking aside, MATCH really is that safe.
We all know that the SDZ concept is extremely important, but
another critical, yet often overlooked factor, is the Vertical
Danger Zone or VDZ. The VDZ is the area directly above the
training range. An important reason for you to be concerned
about the VDZ is the possibility of rounds entering occupied
airspace and potentially endangering aircraft overhead. Another
reason is the possibility of a shooter firing a round above the
red safety band and thus over the wall of the house. There may
be additional concerns, but it is sufficient to note that MATCH
can be equipped to provide total ballistic containment, and
eliminate all potential SDZ and VDZ hazards.
To protect the VDZ and to keep rounds from escaping out the
