β¨ New
REACH Compliance is now a Research Preview. The first time you open the module you'll see a short set of preview terms to accept β it's new, it's evolving, and your feedback shapes it. Acceptance is recorded per user, and from now on REACH records keep a full audit trail of who created or changed what.
Evidence behind a submitted declaration is protected. Once you've submitted to the authority, the records that back it can't be changed silently: corrections ask for a short reason (kept in the audit trail), and instead of deleting, records are marked entered in error β struck through, kept for the record, and excluded from your figures. Anything recorded after submission works as normal.
Indoor ranges join range management. Managed indoor ranges now get the compliance hub too β maintenance plans, bullet-catcher backstops, lead inventory, reclamations and waste consignments. The REACH-specific parts (declaration, site profile, soil & water) stay outdoor-only, and indoor ranges simply don't see them.
Indoor maintenance, the NRA way. Adopting the NRA schedule on an indoor range's bullet catcher now also plans the indoor essentials: a specialist deep clean at the frequency the NRA recommends for your rate of fire (worked out from your shooting records), routine dust-control checks, and a ventilation system check. Steel plate / snail traps are now a backstop type with their own monthly empty-and-inspect tasks.
A timeline for every range. The hub's new Timeline tab shows everything that's happened on a range in one chronological feed β shooting days with rounds fired and lead added, reclamations, samples, actions, waste consignments and declaration submissions β with one-tap filters to show just the types you want.
π¨ Improvements
Cleaning schedules are superseded by the maintenance plan. Clubs with range management get one place to plan all upkeep β by time or rounds fired β so the old per-location cleaning schedules are no longer offered there. Existing schedules keep working, with a pointer to recreate them as planned tasks when you're ready.
Much better on your phone. The compliance hub's tables no longer scroll sideways on mobile β the key facts stack under the first column, whole rows are tappable, and header buttons wrap properly. The pH stepper no longer triggers double-tap zoom, so you can tap away at speed.
Lane tracking β as much or as little as you want. Ranges can now record which lane each shooting-record entry was on (off, optional or required, per range). Lanes feed the per-backstop lead estimates: lane-recorded shooting is attributed exactly, and everything else still uses the share-based estimate, so the numbers stay right however much detail your club records. ROs can mark a session as "opened up" (practical shooting across the whole range) on the range log, which switches lanes off for that session.
NRA guideline maintenance schedules. One tap on a backstop adds the NRA handbook's recommended upkeep to your maintenance plan β for example de-leading sand traps every 20,000 rounds per lane and a monthly rake-and-inspect. Tasks can now come due by rounds fired as well as by date: Range Mate counts your shooting records per backstop and flags the task when the threshold passes.
