Carbon Fiber End Posts: Portable, Lightweight, and Ready to Fly

Need to fly with your moving target system? That's exactly why we built the Carbon Fiber End Post Kit.
Most moving target systems are designed around sturdy 4x4 posts, permanent installations, or range infrastructure that's already in place. But what happens when you're travelling to a training event, flying to another state, or running courses at ranges you've never seen before?
That's where the Carbon Fiber End Post Kit comes in.
Designed specifically for portability, this system allows instructors and traveling training teams to pack their end posts into airline-friendly cases and deploy a moving target system almost anywhere.
The Trade-Off
Let's be honest. This is not the strongest end post option available. In fact, it's probably the least rigid option in the Dynamic Range lineup.
The Carbon Fiber End Post Kit exists for one reason: portability.
If you have access to permanent posts, trees, berms, concrete walls, or standard 4x4 installations, those will almost always be better choices.
For X1 Plus systems running lightweight cardboard targets, the carbon fiber setup works well.
For heavier applications, especially steel targets on the X1 Pro, its limitations become more apparent.
That's simply the reality of prioritising portability over rigidity.
A Few Practical Considerations
The base of the post can sink into soft ground under load.
If you're setting up on soft soil, placing a piece of plywood or another load-spreading surface beneath the base can help prevent movement.
Travelling users should also note that the standard carbon fiber sections are approximately 42 inches long.
While the prototype shown fits in a smaller Pelican case, most customers find that repurposing two rifle cases—one for each end post—is the simplest transportation solution.
Who Is This For?
The Carbon Fiber End Post Kit is ideal for:
Mobile firearms instructors
Training companies that travel regularly
Demonstration teams
Agencies deploying temporary training ranges
Anyone who needs to fly with their equipment
If portability is your top priority, this kit solves a problem few other moving target systems address.
The Bottom Line
The Carbon Fiber End Post Kit isn't designed to replace a permanent range setup.
It's designed to get a moving target system onto a range when traditional options aren't available.
For travelling instructors and mobile training teams, that's often the difference between having dynamic training and not having it at all.
If you're regularly flying with your equipment or teaching at multiple ranges throughout the year, the Carbon Fiber End Post Kit may be the most practical solution available. Email us at info@dynamicrangex1.com if you'd like your own carbon fiber posts.
