As law enforcement work becomes more dangerous, proper firearms training becomes more critical to the safety of your officers. To keep up with the forces plotting against them, officers must be skilled with many weapons under a wide variety of scenarios. Moving threats, multiple adversaries, reactive shooting, threat recognition, and depth of field are important tools and disciplines required by your officers to do their jobs well and return home at the end of their shift.
Unfortunately, training budgets and shooting range space never seem to keep up with demand. To solve both of these problems, Action Target is proud to introduce the Line of Fire™. This revolutionary concept in firearms training and range design provides you with 6 specialized training tools in a single, self-contained, self-armoring shooting range system.
InstantShootingRange
The Line of Fire™ is a frame-mounted instant shooting range that comes assembled in modular sections. You can connect as many sections together as you need, and the 2 moving targets can be configured to span the entire assembly of sections. Like the chassis of a car, the frame of the Line of Fire™ is a foundation that all the target systems and components mount to. No railroad ties, concrete, or other protective walls are needed in front of the targets because the frame of the Line of Fire™ also has an angled 500 Brinell steel wall built right in. All you need to use your Line of Fire™ is a flat piece of ground and a suitable backstop or bullet trap.
To maximize training efficiency and flexibility, each 10-foot section of the Line of Fire™ can be customized with various combinations of turning targets, swing-up targets, static steel targets, and reactive steel targets, plus the 2 moving targets that roam from end to end.
Your Line of Fire™ instant range is a turnkey system that comes complete with an air compressor, the SmartRange™ control system - computer included, all necessary target control devices, steel target assemblies for the moving targets, cardboard qualification targets, paper combat targets, installation, and thorough operational training.
So how can something so full of features save you money? Well, the cost will obviously vary based on the target options you choose, but building a range this way eliminates many of the custom design costs and expensive engineering requirements of traditional shooting ranges. Bottom line? There is no other way to get as much high-quality training equipment on your range for the price than with the Line of Fire™.
To give you a better understanding of the Line of Fire’s™ modular design, let’s take a closer look at each of the available components.
Turning Targets
Turning targets are often limited to qualification rather than training, but with the Line of Fire™ they become an essential part of the tactical environment. Activated individually or in unison, these high-speed turners can be used to represent a hostile adversary or an innocent bystander that gets in the way at the worst possible time.
As an added bonus, the unique design of the Line of Fire’s™ target clamps gives you the option to use your cardboard targets without the mess and hassle of wood supports or staples.
Swing-Up Targets
Completely hidden from view when not activated, the swing-up targets add a valuable new element to your qualification exercises or tactical scenarios. Because they can jump in the way when you least expect it, they pose a special challenge when trying to sort out the good guys from the bad guys. The swing-up targets use the same wood-free target clamps, and can also be activated individually or in unison.
Static Steel Targets
Shooting on static steel targets is an efficient, cost-effective way to work on a wide variety of shooting skills. Any number of drills and exercises can be designed around the various steel targets used with the Line of Fire™, including shotgun drills. All Action Target steel targets, including those used with the Line of Fire™, are made of the finest through hardened 500+ Brinell steel for maximum safety and durability.
Reactive Steel Targets
Reactive shooting is the skill an officer must rely on when suddenly confronted with a combat situation. It is a critical skill that is developed by training on a reactive steel target like Action Target's new Bobber X-treme™. Because the Bobber X-treme™ combines speed, accuracy and decision making into a single training exercise, it is the ultimate reactive shooting experience. The Bobber X-treme™ can be integrated into the Line Of Fire™ to take its training effectiveness and flexibility to a whole new level. Action Target's steel Auto Popper™ or Steel KD™ can be incorporated as well.
Moving Targets
Training on moving targets is mandatory for law enforcement agencies across the country and rightfully so. Because running seems to be a part of most gunfights, the ability to fire safely and accurately at moving threats can be an officer's greatest challenge. To meet this challenge, the Line Of Fire™ comes with two independently controlled movers that can easily be equipped with cardboard targets, paper targets, or even steel targets. Controlled by hand or by computer, these heavy duty movers allow the targets to quickly dart in and out of cover to accurately simulate real combat situations.
SmartRange
If controlling all the different targets on the Line of Fire™ were tedious and complicated, it would defeat the purpose of an integrated, multi-purpose range. Fortunately, the brain behind the Line of Fire™ is our SmartRange™ control software. SmartRange™ is a Windows based control system that gives you individual fingertip control over every target on the range. You can easily create challenging scenarios with random exposures and exposure times, or you can simply press a single button to control various groups of targets. The power, flexibility, and simplicity of SmartRange™ combine to give you the tools you need for state-of-the-art training, without requiring a degree in computer science.
Everything Else Is Just In The Way
The more things a piece of range equipment can do, the more valuable it will be to your training program. With 6 target elements built into the same self-contained, self-armoring unit, the Line of Fire™ instant shooting range will become your ultimate training tool. Until then, start clearing some room because with Action Target’s Line of Fire™, everything else is just in the way.
