Fast Range Build Test with a 10 Minute Goal

  • May 4
  • 2 min read

There’s a common expectation with portable systems: fast setup. But “fast” means different things depending on your experience, your range, and how precise you want your setup to be.

So we put it to the test.



The goal was simple—build a working moving target setup in under 10 minutes.

Here’s what actually happened, and what it tells you about real-world setup times.


Why Setup Takes Longer Than You Think

Even experienced teams run into the same small delays:


Alignment Isn’t Perfect the First Time

You might think everything is square—until you step back and look again. Fixing alignment improves performance, but adds a few extra minutes.

Hardware Variations

Something as simple as thread differences between bolts can slow things down. It’s minor, but it happens.

Cable Tension Needs Fine-Tuning

Getting the cable “tight enough” is easy. Getting it just right takes a bit more attention.


Speed Comes With Repetition

The more you set up the system, the faster it gets.

What took nearly 20 minutes in this test could realistically drop to 15 minutes with a familiar teamand even faster with a consistent range layout. Like anything on the range, repetition builds efficiency.


The Bigger Picture

Portable systems aren’t about eliminating setup time completely.

They’re about reducing it enough that movement becomes practical.

Instead of planning around setup, you can:

  • Build quickly

  • Run your drills

  • Pack down just as fast

That’s what makes moving targets usable for everyday training—not just special events.


So no, the 10-minute goal wasn’t hit. But a full moving target setup in under 20 minutes? That’s still a win.


Check out the X1 systems and see how quickly you can bring movement to your range.
