(A) Open air shooting galleries constructed from and after the

same height as the backstop, which side walls shall be constructed

of steel of a thickness not less than U.S. standard sixteen-gauge

steel and shall be from six (6) to twenty-five (25) feet in length.

In the event the steel side walls do not extend to the counter, the
