Why choose a turning/rotating target system for training/practice?
Anyone who has been to a
professionally operated firearms course has had the privilege to face a turning
target system from the firing line. The advantages of this type of target
presentation are that everyone on the firing line has precisely the same amount
of time to execute the the instructor’s directives without the use of
stopwatches and timers. This part is obvious.
The less obvious contribution that a turning target system brings to training
and practice is stress. Not knowing when you’ll get your opportunity to shoot-
STRESS. Knowing that you have only a limited amount of time to deliver your
rounds- STRESS, yet knowing that you need to be accurate- STRESS, how will I
perform while others are firing at the same time- STRESS.
As you train at different distances from the targets, the period of time the
target is shown will vary, and as you become more proficient this period of
time can be decreased, again inducing- STRESS.
This training and practice stress is the same stress that is encountered in real-world
situations. Hostile aggression and business-end views of firearms run this
stress level high. However, if you train and practice with an increased level
of stress, your performance under stress will be better for the real-world
challenges.
Turning target systems at training centers are of stout steel construction and
driven by powerful hydraulic systems that are designed from the ground up for
each installation. These systems are actually built into the range. Typically
operated with a corded on/off switch as a remote control, it provides the range
master with limited, and non-repeatable, target operation.
Until the introduction of the TAC II Two-Stage Turning Target System, there
hasn’t been an economical solution for many who wanted, or wanted to offer,
this type of training and practice capability outside of a professional
facility that was willing to make the large investment for a built-in rotating
target system.
These include both outdoor and indoor local shooting ranges, small town law
enforcement agencies, and larger law enforcement agencies on tight budgets.
Individual professionals and enthusiasts who wanted to own this capability had
few, and very compromising choices before the TAC II. Now, this exciting
capability is available for use at law enforcement training sites, local ranges
or wherever one enjoys shooting, and clubs or teams that wanted to add another
level of challenge to their shooting scenarios, stages, or COF, now have a
viable option.
Sniper training too takes a step forward with our standard 1000' range (under
ideal conditions), from our handheld wireless remote control. With our optional
Extended Range Antenna, control range can be extended to 2600'(1/2 mile) or
more. Now the sniper doesn't have unlimited time to set up and squeeze one off.
Our TAC II Portable Turning Target System is the world's best. No other portable turning target system provides our
features, top-notch construction, and versitility at the same price point. Compare us with all others and see if you
don’t agree. Improve your proficiency, and the skills of your trainees or team by including the TAC II in your training or practice regimen.
We said it... but you be the judge. |
