Action Target's AutoTargets is a distinctive portable target system designed for every range. This affordable reactive target allows trainers to set the number and location of hits to fall and reports shot data and scoring through an app-based platform, free on Android and iOS. The system is made to be easy to setup, lightweight, and keep shooters up range and training, rather than taping and adjusting targets. This versatile training tool can be used from CQB to long range, indoor and outdoor, and senses hits from any caliber.

The 1,000-foot remote control range is ideal for sniper exercises, and any number of TAC II's can be synchronized for group activities. Routines are quick and easy to define, and up to 15 routines can be saved. The TAC II weighs 26 pounds, is stable in winds up to 30 mph, operates for days on a single charge, and collapses to 5x9x60 inches.

Meggitt Training Systems

Live-Fire Screen

Meggitt's Live-Fire Screen allows users to train within a shooting range using live ammunition while scenarios are displayed on a natural rubber screen through the FATS 100LE system. Screen integrity does not affect hit detection capability, because Meggitt's screen surface is not needed for detection of projectiles passing through the area of interest and is used only for showing the image. It can be readily integrated into live-fire shoot houses with other surfaces for projection. The easy-to-install, self-healing screen can be used with various types of weapons ranging from revolvers to submachine guns, and is designed to withstand up to 50,000 rounds over the entire surface area before replacement or repair.
