!
The target carriers stand still
Service from the original supplier is expensive or unavailable, and each fault takes a lane out of use for weeks.
Shooting range modernisation
Concrete and bullet traps can last for decades. The technology ages much faster. Shooting range modernisation replaces the technology layer of an existing facility (target retrieval systems, control, lighting and targets) with no rebuild and no months-long closure. We modernise indoor and outdoor ranges, sport, commercial, police and military, whoever equipped them originally.

Warning signs
Signs that it is time for a range upgrade
If even one of these applies, your facility is ready for a range upgrade, whoever built it and whatever systems run in it today.
!
Everything by hand
Staff operate each device separately from the firing point. Running the session takes longer than the shooting.
!
Lighting: on or off
The lights have two settings, and lighting scenarios are out of reach.
!
Systems that ignore each other
Devices from different suppliers share no data.
!
No scenarios
Customers and units go to more modern facilities nearby.
!
Parts you have to hunt for
Each repair means a parts hunt and downtime.
Before and after
What gets replaced
Four areas where modernisation makes the biggest difference. You can tackle each one on its own.
Before
An ageing facility
Technology from another era, operated by hand, with no feedback for the shooter.
- Target carriers Cable bound, frequent repairs, lanes out of use
- Control Every firing point separately, by hand
- Lighting Room lighting: on or off
- Targets Static frames, no feedback
After modernisation
The RangeTech system
One range control system, scenarios, and devices that talk to each other.
- Target carriers Wireless Nucleus or cable driven Basic, no chasing walls
- Control RangeTech Master, the whole facility from one tablet
- Lighting RangeTech Light with lighting scenarios
- Targets RotoTarget and RangeTech LOMAH inside scenarios
Scope
What a modernisation usually covers
Most projects keep the building and replace the technology layer. Each area can be done on its own or as one phase of a larger plan. Our projects include the modernisation and extension of the Naval Academy container range in Gdynia, with RangeTech Nucleus and RangeTech Light.
01
Target retrieval systems
New target carriers go onto the existing structure. Panel rails are bolted rather than welded. The wireless Nucleus needs no cabling along the lane, and Basic runs on the same rail. A damaged section comes out without welding.
02
Control layer
RangeTech Master, our range control system, replaces manual operation at each firing point. It runs on any phone, tablet or computer with nothing to install, from one firing point to the whole facility.
03
Lighting
RangeTech Light replaces on and off room lighting with lighting scenarios: working light, dusk, darkness and strobe. Each 60 mm housing takes 1 to 5 LED modules.
04
Sound
RangeTech Surround adds battlefield simulation, commands and announcements. It plays in the same scenario as the lights and targets.
05
Hit location
RangeTech LOMAH shows every shot at the firing point in real time. Shooters no longer walk to the target between series.
06
Safety signalling and interlocks
Firing authorisation can depend on the ventilation running. Range status signals and an emergency STOP scenario sit in the same system.
How it runs
Modernisation in phases
- 01
Technical audit
We inspect the facility and its systems, then tell you what to replace now, what can wait and what still has years of service left.
- 02
Lane by lane
We split the work into phases that fit your budget and your calendar. Each phase covers single lanes or single systems.
- 03
The range stays open
Only the lanes we are working on close. The rest of the range keeps operating and earning.
- 04
Service from the manufacturer
After the handover we stay: inspections, genuine spare parts and RangeTech Master updates. As the manufacturer, we service our own equipment.
Questions and answers
Common questions about range modernisation
Can you retrofit target retrieval systems to an existing range?
Yes, and retrofit target carriers are the most common starting point. Panel rails are bolted rather than welded, and the wireless Nucleus needs no cabling along the lane, so the walls stay untouched.
Does a shooting range modernisation mean shutting the range?
No. We work lane by lane and take only single lanes out of use. The rest of the range keeps operating and earning.
Can we keep our existing rails and bullet traps?
The concrete and the bullet traps stay. What changes is the technology layer. Our target carriers run on panel rails, which we add or fit in place of the old ones. They are bolted rather than welded.
Can you modernise a range equipped by another supplier?
Yes. We audit whatever is installed, say what still has service life in it and replace the technology layer around it, whatever the original make.
How long does a shooting range modernisation take?
It depends on the number of lanes and the scope of work. We work lane by lane, so the range stays open throughout. After the technical audit you get a phase plan with dates and the order of work for your facility.
What does a shooting range modernisation usually cover?
Target retrieval systems, the range control system, lighting, sound, hit location and safety signalling. You can modernise one area or several, in the order that suits your budget.
What happens to the equipment already installed?
We tell you what to keep and what to replace. Whatever stays runs alongside the new devices until it reaches the end of its service life.
The building lasts for decades. The technology inside it is a layer you can replace.
