Single-function vs multi-function pop-up targets

How single-function and multi-function pop-up targets differ in movement, exposure and control, and which suits qualification shoots or tactical drills.

Star INXS engineering team5 min read

Pop-up targets make a range react: they appear, wait and drop, so the shooter has to find and engage them in time. The choice between single-function and multi-function targets depends on the training you run.

When single-function is enough

For marksmanship fundamentals and standard qualification practices, a target that rises, holds for a set time and falls is all you need. The single-function target is simple, robust and runs on mains or battery power.

When to choose multi-function

Tactical training needs targets that behave less predictably. The multi-function target can pop up, slice or turn away when hit, run snapshot exercises and work in groups of up to seven. Add night illumination for low-light shooting and the acoustic hit sensor to count and store hits.

Add movement and control

Mount the multi-function target box on a trolley track for moving-target drills at slow, medium or fast speed. Link everything to range control for lane status, exercise libraries, hit display, CCTV and reports.
