01
Target retrieval systems
Basic and Nucleus carriers move the target to any metre of the lane, at up to 3.5 m/s (Basic) or 7 m/s (Nucleus). You set distance and speed from the tablet.
Shooting range control system
A shooting range control system connects the devices on a range and runs them from one place: target retrieval systems, turning targets, scenario lighting, range sound and hit location. In the RangeTech system, that job belongs to RangeTech Master, our range control software. It runs on any phone, tablet or computer with nothing to install. One operator can run a single firing point, a group of lanes or the whole facility, in individual, group or scenario mode.

What the system controls
One system for every device on the range
The range control system sends commands to each device and receives events back. Each device can work on its own, and the system links them into one exercise.
02
Turning targets
RotoTarget and the Nucleus turner rotate 720°: friend, foe, neutral or any angle. A turn can follow a hit, a timer or the next stage of a scenario.
03
Scenario lighting
RangeTech Light sets brightness from 0 to 100%, runs the strobe and switches between working light, dusk and darkness inside a scenario.
04
Range sound
RangeTech Surround plays battlefield simulation, commands and announcements in the same scenario as the lights and targets.
05
Hit location and hit sensors
RangeTech LOMAH shows every shot at the firing point in real time. Hit sensors on Nucleus and RotoTarget can start the next step of an exercise.
06
Safety and building installations
Firing authorisation linked to ventilation, range status signals, access control and an emergency STOP scenario, all in one place.
RangeTech MasterHow it works
Run from a tablet, scaled to the facility
The range control software runs on any phone, tablet or computer, so there is nothing to install at the firing point. The operator picks a lane, a group of lanes or the whole facility and starts an individual exercise, a group exercise or a prepared scenario. A scenario combines target movement, rotation, lighting, sound and hit reactions into one synchronised exercise that starts with a single click.

- Individual, group and scenario modes
- Live image from target cameras on the lane tablets
- Automatic diagnostics of the connected devices
Implementation
Putting a range control system in place
- 01
Facility review
We agree the number of lanes, lane length, the devices on each lane and the building installations the system has to work with.
- 02
Design guidelines
The designer gets the location of the control room, the network and power points and the mounting points for the devices.
- 03
Installation and commissioning
We install the devices, network and lane control units and connect them to RangeTech Master. Then we prepare scenarios for the way you use the range.
- 04
Training and service
We train operators and instructors, then support you with remote diagnostics, software updates and factory service.
Questions and answers
Common questions about range control systems
What is a shooting range control system?
It is the layer that connects the devices of a range and runs them from one place: target retrieval systems, turning targets, lighting, sound, hit location and the building installations linked to firing. In the RangeTech system, RangeTech Master does this job.
Does the range control software need to be installed?
No. RangeTech Master runs on any phone, tablet or computer with nothing to install.
Can one range control system run a single lane and the whole facility?
Yes. The same system runs a single firing point, a group of lanes or the whole facility, from a container range to an indoor range with dozens of lanes. New lanes and devices join the same system.
Can an existing range get a new range control system?
Yes. This is a common part of shooting range modernisation. We audit the facility and replace the technology layer lane by lane, so the range stays open during the work.
How does the range control system support safety?
It allows firing only while ventilation is running, signals the range status and gives you an emergency STOP scenario, all from one place.
