Meggitt Training Systems (MTS) joined a commercial range operator and local law enforcement officers in a ribbon-cutting ceremony recently at the Sandy Springs Gun Club in the US state of Georgia, where Meggitt installed its Next Generation Wireless Target (XWT) retrieval system.
The XWT is the shooting industry’s first wireless, 360-degree turning target retrieval system.
The XWT system eliminates the requirement to replace frayed cables and to continually adjust the tension of cables and pulleys found on traditional target retrievers.
The XWT system is operated via wireless communication through a user-friendly, touch-screen controller.
The Sandy Springs Gun Club installation is the first of its kind in the US.
Local law enforcement officers will use the XWT target retrieval system, along with Meggitt’s Next Generation Virtual Training System (XVT), for marksmanship qualification and judgmental training.
Meggitt-installed acoustic baffles and ballistic stalls provide additional safety for the users.
Shooters at the range will be further protected by the use of Meggitt’s GranTrap, which represents state-of-the-art technology for bullet capture and lead containment.
