Portable Electronic Ranges

Post by Barry »

Portable Electronic Range technology has been growing so fast lately that I can't keep up with it.
Right now, my club has to haul all our gear into our venue and remove all of it when we are done. We are using a Creedmoor portable range.

Is there an electronic solution out there that would fit this scenario? Has to be transportable in the back of a hatchback car.
How much are we talking for 8 stations?

A good starting place would be the CMP (http://www.odcmp.com/). They have systems that they transport all over the country.

You will still have to lug your backstops

I've shot on those and they would be too cumbersome for indoor air.
ETA: I've shot on the HP targets. Do they have indoor targets they haul around too?

Albuquerque Public Schools has a set of 40+ Megalink targets that are housed/used at many different high school JROTC programs.
At our large 3PAR matches they are picked up at the schools and brought together in a high school gym. Our Cup matches are in the range of 280-350 shooters depending on the match.
They are backed up by the creedmor backstops.
From arrival to the gym, the setuptime for all the backstops and targets is about 2.5-3hours. The most labor intensive task is the backstop setup ... the targets setup quickly

I have a set of six on my range that we use for both 10m Air & 50ft Smallbore Rifle. Since we also have International style pistol (Air & SB) I usually move the targets out of the way for the smallbore pistol shooters. It only takes me about 20 minutes to get these off the sides of the range into position & hooked up for rifle shooting or air pistol. (don't recommend using these for SB pistol!)
