We Built a Target That Doesn’t Move in Wind

  • Apr 27
  • 2 min read

If you’ve ever run training or a competition on a windy day, you’ve seen it. Morning shooters get calm conditions. Afternoon shooters deal with targets drifting, swinging, or rotating just enough to change the shot.


It’s a small difference—but in precision training, small differences matter.

That’s exactly the problem this new dual cable moving target system was built to solve.


The Problem With Traditional Setups

Most moving target systems rely on a single cable.

It works well for movement, but when wind picks up, the target starts to:

  • Sway side to side

  • Rotate slightly

  • Drift off its intended path


For general training, that might be acceptable. But for:

  • Sniper qualifications

  • Precision competitions

  • Standardized evaluations

…it creates inconsistency.


The same drill can feel completely different depending on the time of day.


Why Not Just Use Track Systems?

Track systems solve the wind problem by locking the target into a fixed rail.

But they come with trade-offs:

  • High cost (often $20,000+)

  • Permanent installation

  • Concrete work and contractors

  • Limited flexibility once installed

For many ranges, that’s not practical.



The Dual Cable Solution

Instead of adding more infrastructure, this system adds one key element: a second cable.

Here’s how it works:

  • Two cables run in parallel

  • They’re spaced about five feet apart

  • The target system connects to both lines

  • Cross-bracing transfers wind force into the rear cable


The result is simple: wind energy gets absorbed and stabilized instead of moving the target.


A System Still Being Shaped by Feedback

This is still in the testing phase, with prototypes currently in use at select ranges and clubs.


Early feedback has been strong, especially from groups that deal with wind regularly.

One thing to note: the current version uses some plastic components, but the final version will move to full aluminum construction for durability.


The Bigger Idea

This system isn’t about adding complexity. It’s about removing variables that shouldn’t affect performance. Wind is one of those variables.


If your training or competitions depend on consistency, eliminating that factor changes everything.
