AFTERMARKET SERVICES OPTIMIZE SHOOTING RANGE PERFORMANCE

One of the most compelling reasons to work with Action Target is to access a complete turnkey solution. Not only do we provide professional range consulting, design, manufacturing and installation services, but we also offer a host of aftermarket programs and products to make sure your range operation excels. This translates to a partner- ship that continues after your range is built.

MANAGING HAZARDOUS WASTE

Shooting ranges are responsible for all the waste they generate and must be able to verify that it is properly disposed of or re- cycled. Examples of non-recyclable waste include used PPE and contaminated filters. Recyclable hazardous materials include collected lead and brass. Action Target has pro- grams to significantly simplify the process of managing range waste. Our recycling and disposal procedures are OSHA and EPA compliant and are in strict accordance with EPA and DOT regulations. In addition, we provide detailed documentation of our processes, protecting ranges from potential fines.

METALS RECYCLING PROGRAM

Several years ago, we rolled out our innovative Metals Recycling Program. Members of this program find it exceptionally reward- ing. It requires next to no effort on your part. Simply call us when you’re ready for a pick-up. We will arrive at your range within 72 hours and sort and weigh your spent metals. With our transparent pricing, which is based on the London Metals Exchange (the global center for industrial metals trading), you will receive the best price for your recycled lead and brass in either cash or Action Target credit. Credit can be applied toward our online store products, range equipment, and range services. Customers who opt for credit receive an extra 10% bonus.

RUBBER BERM TRAP CLEANING

Cleaning and mining a rubber berm trap is an inconvenient, time-consuming, and messy process. Action Target removes the hassle and prioritizes the safety and profitability of your range with convenient and comprehensive rubber berm trap cleaning available. Our proprietary lead recovery process is the fastest and most efficient in the industry. Furthermore, our pricing is competitive and transparent, allowing you to maintain control of your metals revenue.

CUSTOMIZED MAINTENANCE PLANS

Many range operators simply don’t have the manpower, expertise, or time to keep their equipment properly maintained. When lack of maintenance leads to equipment failure, critical operating time is lost. Whether your range is a training facility or a commercial operation, an Action Target maintenance

plan will help you focus your time on the important business of running your range. Action Target works with you to build a plan that determines the appropriate number of annual visits your range requires. These visits include specialized services to keep your range running at peak condition. Our technicians thoroughly inspect your range products for wear and assess necessary service and maintenance protocols. Any products in need of service are taken care of on-site.

ACTION TARGET STORE

Action Target carries all the essential products to keep your retail area stocked and your range clean, safe, and ready to operate. Be it range safety products, cleaning supplies, or targets (paper, cardboard, and steel) we have everything you need to make your range or firearms training program a success. We ensure that we keep products in stock and ship them quickly, making it easy to optimize your inventory. We also offer discounts based on annual purchase volume.

FEATURED RANGES

SECURITÉ GUN CLUB | WOODINVILLE, WASHINGTON

The owner of Securité Gun Club had a strong vision for the type of range operation they wanted. Per their web- site, their mission is to deliver a “uniquely refined” experience in an environment that is “luxurious, modern, secure, and family-friendly.” They chose to partner with Action Target because of our extensive industry experience and reputation as a provider of quality shooting range equipment. Furthermore, Action Target offers the market’s best ventilation systems, which greatly appealed to the safety-conscious owner.

Securité’s 34-lane shooting range is equipped with Action Target’s TCTTM Vortex steel trap system, DefenderTM stalls, and a combination of our state-of-the-art GenesisTM and Touch Plus target retrievers.

Securité is partnered with an exotic car dealership, so the owner of the gun club may be seen driving a McLaren adorned with Securité’s logo.

KIMBER RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT RANGE | TROY, ALABAMA

Gun manufacturer Kimber partnered with Action Target to build their research and development shooting range. Located in the company’s manufacturing facility in Troy, AL, this high-volume shooting range required a powerful bullet trap system. To meet this requirement, the 6-lane range was outfitted with Action Target’s TCTTM Vortex steel trap system as well as the BCS Deluxe 20, which is Action Target’s newest bullet containment system. This system utilizes

large capacity 20-gallon drums connected to the base of each deceleration chamber. The drums are situated upon dollies and utilize a quick release clamp for easy change-out.

The Kimber R&D facility also features Action Target’s tactical ceil- ing baffles, SRET retrievers, Guardsman stalls and a recirculation ventilation system.

NEW PRODUCTS

JUMPING TARGETS

Action Target is pleased to announce a new partnership with Jumping Targets. Over the last 10 years, Jumping Targets has excelled in the development of affordable, high-quality tar- gets. Most targets are made solely of AR500 steel, providing a long life and exceptional value. The targets also ring loudly when struck, providing valuable audible feedback to target shooters. Jumping Targets holds eight patents (some pend- ing) for their innovative designs. Action Target is excited to provide additional reactive target options for our customers.

PILOT TARGET RETRIEVER

Action Target’s PilotTM target retriever was developed to provide a wireless out-and-back target retriever solution in place of traditional wire-drive-based systems. Additionally, the Pilot includes damage-preventing features such as a hidden backer clamp and Strike WatchTM technology. Strike Watch detects when the carrier is struck and will terminate sessions if excessive strikes occur, protecting the range owner’s investment. The system’s integrated target lighting and embedded camera displays the target on the shooter’s control screen, providing an unrivaled target shooting experience. Furthermore, Pilot interfaces with Action Target’s range control software SmartRange AxisTM to provide total retriever control, lane time control, and equipment permissions.

GAME SERIES PAPER TARGETS

Action Target recently launched our Game Series paper targets, bringing an added element of competition and entertainment to target shooting. Inspired by arcade games, wildlife hunting, carnival entertainment, tabletop gaming, and team sports such as baseball, these targets create a riveting and interactive shooting experience. Each target includes rules for game play. For example, the object of ‘Ocean Battle’ is to be the first player to sink an opponents’ ships by shooting the ships’ target rings. Some targets, such as ‘Alien Invasion’, employ fluorescent colors, allow- ing ranges to amplify the game experience with black lights. Many of these paper targets have been integrated with Action Target’s GenesisTM target retriever control system for automated game-play and training.

Visit shop.actiontarget.com to peruse the Game Series target selection.

INNOVATION INSIGHT

MASTER TARGET CONTROL

Operating targets has never been simpler or more convenient than with Action Target’s new Master Target Control.

The Master Target Control is available for Action Target’s Fixed Lateral<supTM and FTTSTM advanced electric turning target products.

LEO Tactical Survival | Real World Tactical at LETC 2019

Posted on by Marketing Action Target

Tony Sentmanat, Diego Devera & Ruben Alvarez instructing the LEO Tactical Survival at Action Target’s annual Law Enforcement Training Camp in Provo, Utah.

Kadance Konecny of American Fork Police Department interviewed.

Real World Tactical
Our Mission at RealWorld Tactical is to teach real life focused firearms training specializing in urban concepts that we have learned through our operational experience. Our primary goal is to give the average hard working person the skills and knowledge for a fighting chance against the human predator looking for its prey.

There isn’t always a happy ending, in fact most of the time the bad guy usually wins.

When you need a police officer they are never around, and when you only have seconds to react it takes them minutes to respond.

When you think things cant get any worse, they always do, and they usually come in threes.
When you become a victim of a crime, you have only seconds to make a difference in your life or the lives of your loved ones and you don’t get 10 takes to get it right (like in a movie), you only get one.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Situational Awareness is as important as carrying a gun.

Tell me who you hang around with and Ill tell you who everybody thinks you are.
Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Never under estimate your opponent no matter his/her size or weight.

If you run every time you have a problem, you will be running for the rest of your life, and I don’t know about you, but I hate running.

Everybody that carries a gun has a plan until they get shot at.

The faint zipping sound of a round as it passes your head is the most humbling experience that a man will ever feel in his lifetime..

Last but not least I have come to realize that we live in the greatest country in the world, a country where free men have sacrificed there lives so that we can have the freedoms we have today, and this country gives us the right to a carry a gun, do not give evil men and women the advantage, always carry a gun so that you can protect yourself and your family from those willing to to do harm.

Law Enforcement Training Systems by Action Target | Better Equipped & Better Prepared.

Posted on by Marketing Action Target

Action Target develops world class shooting range facilities and advanced target systems to help our Law Enforcement be better equipped in their training and better prepared for the dangers they face each day protecting our communities.

Action Target products used in this video: The Dual Running Man (DRM) Pro This target system is the most powerful and feature-rich running man system ever designed. It boasts 3HP motors, ultra-wear resistant pulleys, speeds up to 20 fps, realistic acceleration, and an easy to use control interface for use on tablets and mobile phones. The DRM Pro uses two lateral traveling, non-turning target carriers capable of moving independently from one another because they are mounted on two separate tracks that run parallel to each other. Paper, cardboard, and plastic targets can be attached to the Dual Running Man by stapling or clamping them to the standard 1” x 2” wood sticks secured to the target carriers with clamps.

The Fixed Lateral 360 (FL360) This target system allows targets to be repositioned laterally along a fixed rail without the use of tools. Simply unlock the target and it will slide left and right for positioning in groups or creating open spaces on the range. Used in conjunction with the Dual Running Man target system, these targets can represent bystanders or perpetrators to simulate real-world scenarios.

Michelle Viscusi of Team Glock Training on Action Target Steel

Posted on by Marketing Action Target

No matter what your purpose for training, Action Target has the product for you. You too can train with Action Target! Team Glock’s Michelle Viscusi Training on Action Target Steel.

Michelle Viscusi’s path to shooting sports has materialized a little differently than most competitors. She began her competitive shooting at the age of 21. Joining the Army National Guard at the age of 19, Viscusi soon learned from her military training that shooting came naturally to her. While in the military, Michelle had the opportunity to be on The History Channel’s hit series Top Shot. Competing with 17 other more experienced shooters, Viscusi realized that to make her dream a reality she would need to throw herself at her craft and start taking competitive shooting more seriously. Last year, Viscusi committed herself to countless hours of training at the range to continue the legacy of champion women’s shooters for Team GLOCK.
