✨ New

• A compliance hub for every range. REACH compliance now has its own home per range, with tabs for the site profile, soil & water, lead & reclamation, actions & maintenance and the declaration — instead of one long page. The Overview tab shows your status at a glance, a What needs doing list, and a Getting set up checklist for new ranges. The range page keeps a compact summary card that links into the hub.

• Maintenance planning. You can now plan the upkeep your range needs — bund repairs, vegetation checks, periodic lead recovery — once or on a repeating schedule. Each task shows when it's next due and turns red when overdue; Mark as done pre-fills the recording form, and the next due date moves forward automatically.

• A sampling form built for the field. Recording a soil or water sample now works the way sampling actually happens: tap Use my location (or drag a pin on the map) to mark the spot by GPS, big −/+ buttons for the pH reading, soil/water as a simple two-button choice — and if the sample is off to a lab, save it as awaiting results and add the lead figure when the report comes back. Pending results are flagged on the sampling history and in What needs doing.

• Backstops and range layout. You can now describe your range properly: lanes, firing arrangement and distances, plus each backstop — its construction, height, distance and the lanes it serves, with photos. Reclamations and samples can be recorded against a specific backstop, and the lead inventory gains a per-backstop breakdown so each bund keeps its own running estimate. All optional — a single-bund range works exactly as before.

• Quicker waste consignments. Use Consign waste next to a reclamation and the consignment starts pre-filled with its quantity and description; the consignment note can be photographed straight from your phone.

• Non-lead munitions. When logging a shoot, you can now tick Non-lead munition for copper or synthetic rounds. Those rounds still count towards round totals and shooting history, but are left out of the estimated lead in the range's back-stop — and out of the rounds-per-lane de-leading trigger — so clubs using Range Mate for lead management get accurate figures and don't over-estimate what needs recovering.

🐛🔨 Bug Fixes

• Nearby water data now actually arrives. The "look up nearby water data" feature on the site profile returned nothing due to a fault in how the public datasets were queried. It now correctly finds groundwater protection zones — and, for England, named watercourses including rivers, brooks and canals — near your range, with sensible distances.

• OS grid references fill in automatically. Ranges that already had a map position but no grid reference now have one derived for them — previously this only happened when the map position changed.

🔨 Improvements

• Lead recovery has one clear home. "Lead removal" is no longer offered as a risk-reduction action — recovering lead is always recorded as a reclamation (which captures the mass, method and destination), and planned via a Reclamation maintenance task.
