good stuff, check it out and come back with questions.
knowledge is power

Not really sure what the Navy needs INDOOR ranges for (enemy ship attacks inside, entering enemy ship and shooting inside?), but they have good guidelines.
when we started up our system we had some lead exposure issues of custodians till we fixed that. So yes it is important to design right.
I'm not sure where cross-wind would be a problem indoors assuming you provide air from behind the shooter towards the bullet trap.

Hire an Engineer who knows what he is doing, you are likely over your head.
RE: Shooting Facility Design
and who shoudl he hire, most consultants that claim to have experience, don't have squat. unfortuantely it is common to embelish experience whne applying for a project.
Most consutlants also let the interns and technicians design most, and a ighly decorated principal stamps the plans.
I do a lot of my own design, but also supervise hired consultants. Most of them operate the way I described.
so the thread starter is better off using his own brain and ask on this forum.

Ever hear of the US Marines? They are part of the Navy and do a lot of shooting.

For a civilian sport facility then You do not have to go too complicate, just contact the city where the project is located, ask them about their requirement and the code they apply, then go ahead with your design.
if they don't have a specific standard, then just design it as a regular project and do not bother with navy or air force or NASA, it is just an HVAC

You also should monitor dP via BAS on each filter stage so you can determine proper replacement times. Filter replacement is very expensive, but contamination will cost even more.
you should talk to the filter-replacement company when designing.
this is all hazardous filtration and will cost you several thousands of 4 each year for smaller facilities.
