(A) Open air shooting galleries constructed from and after the effective date of this act shall conform to the following standards and specifications:
(a) There shall be a backstop not less than seven and one-half (7 1/2) feet high, which shall be constructed of steel of a thickness not less than U.S. standard eight-gauge steel and shall be well lapped at the joints; the backstop shall be not less than eight (8) nor more than twenty-five (25) feet wide.
