Khimji Ramdas Special Projects delivers world-class indoor shooting range
Action Point's indoor shooting range in Muscat has been developed in collaboration with Cubic Technologies Singapore, a global leader in defence training systems.
The shooting range is fully equipped facility that delivers an unparalleled live-fire experience. Located at the Active Oman Centre (Oman Automobile Association), it features six specialised shooting ranges: Two 25-m pistol ranges with retrievable targets for 9mm pistols; one 50-m tactical range featuring LOMAH (Location of Miss and Hit) target systems; one 100-m rifle range with retrievable targets for 5.56mm caliber rifles; a globally unique indoor shotgun (skeet/trap) range; an air gun range (currently under development).
All ranges are equipped with smart bullet traps that safely collect projectiles into designated channels, advanced electronic target systems for real-time feedback, and air purification systems that ensure a healthy and safe environment by removing dust and gases generated by shooting.
The facility is designed to cater to a wide spectrum of users - ranging from first-time visitors and hobby shooters to competitive marksmen, private security agencies, and government entities. The experience begins with a comprehensive safety briefing at a dedicated reception and briefing area, followed by closely monitored sessions where each visitor is accompanied by a qualified instructor who ensures safety and provides technical guidance throughout, a statement said.
Col (Retd) Nasser bin Ali Al Amri, General Manager - Action Point, stated: 'Action Point was envisioned as more than just a facility - it is an experience that combines adrenaline, precision, and professionalism. Our partnership with Khimji Ramdas and Cubic Defence has enabled us to bring international-level shooting disciplines to Oman, while maintaining the highest standards of safety and supervision. We aim to nurture responsible firearms sportsmanship in an environment that inspires confidence and excellence.
'To ensure operational excellence, the training staff at Action Point was selected from national talents of both genders, in coordination with the Ministry of Labor, from among job seekers. They received intensive coaching from a global leader specialized in training instructors for indoor ranges, ensuring they deliver high levels of professional and technical performance.'
Varun Pankaj Khimji, Director - Khimji Ramdas, said: 'This project reflects our commitment to delivering turnkey, high-performance solutions that support national training infrastructure and innovation. Partnering with Cubic Technologies has enabled us to incorporate some of the most advanced technologies in the world into this facility. The collaboration brought in proprietary training systems that allow for real-time feedback, multi-user engagement, and immersive training environments. These systems are widely used by military and law enforcement agencies globally, ensuring the facility adheres to best-in-class standards.'
He added: 'We are proud to support Action Point's mission of enhancing responsible firearms sporting in the region. This project represents another milestone for Khimji Ramdas' Special Projects Division, which continues to spearhead strategic infrastructure and defense-related developments across Oman and the wider region.'
