Acoustic and Noise Management Workshop Available for Shooting Range Operators

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

MONTPELIER, Vt. -- The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is hosting a special seminar on shooting range acoustics and noise management on Saturday, September 12, at the Agency of Natural Resources Annex, 190 Junction Road, Berlin, Vermont.

The department and several sporting organizations have been working to enhance shooting range opportunities for hunters and shooters throughout Vermont. At the seminar participants will learn practical information on acoustics and how it relates to shooting ranges in particular. The presentation will include background on acoustics materials, measurements and noise mitigation. Discussion will follow on local, county and state noise codes, ordinances and laws.

Leading the seminar is Bill Bergiadis, founder of Troy Acoustics Corporation and designer of a highly rated sound-wall system. A nationally recognized expert on acoustic materials, Bergiadis regularly does presentations at NRA range seminars and for government agencies.

The seminar will run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Continental breakfast and coffee will be provided. Anyone interested in attending needs to pre-register.

"For current and potential range operators, this is a must-attend workshop," says Daneil Pieterse, Vermont Fish & Wildlife's shooting range technician. "Clubs and organizations should consider sending members so they can be equipped with the knowledge and tools to bring back to their organizations. Well-run shooting ranges provide safe and educational resources for beginning hunters and established firearm users. Our department is committed to fostering responsible range management in the state and we look forward to helping clubs and organizations in this effort."
