Innovative Solutions for Portable Target Setup: Using Ladders for the Dynamic Range X1
The Dynamic Range X1 and X1 Plus are designed for portability, but setting up the target retrieval system can be challenging without a fixed attachment point. One of our innovative customers found a creative solution for this, particularly useful for those in temporary or mobile training scenarios, like church security forces.
The Challenge: Finding Attachment Points
Typically, setting up the Dynamic Range X1 requires secure attachment points for the paracord or steel cable at both ends. This is straightforward if you have trees or can install posts, but it can be problematic in rented or temporary locations.
The Solution: Using Step Ladders
A customer training a church security force came up with an ingenious method using two 10-foot step ladders as attachment points. Here's how they did it:
Step Ladder Setup:
Two 10-foot step ladders were used as the primary attachment points for the paracord or steel cable.
Anchoring the Ladders:
To prevent the ladders from being pulled over by the tension in the line, they anchored the ladders with secondary cords staked into the ground at a 45-degree angle from the base. This provided the necessary stability.
Ease of Mobility:
This setup allowed for rapid deployment and teardown, making it ideal for use in rented ranges or for training programs that move between different locations.
Practical Applications
This portable setup is especially beneficial for:
Mobile Training Programs: Police department training programs that operate at various locations.
Temporary Ranges: Any scenario where permanent attachment points are unavailable.
By using step ladders and stakes, you can quickly set up the Dynamic Range X1 system without the need for permanent fixtures. This method is not only innovative but also practical, allowing for flexibility and mobility in your training sessions.
Conclusion
The use of step ladders for setting up the Dynamic Range X1 target retrieval system is a creative and effective solution for those needing a portable setup. This method highlights the adaptability of our products and the ingenuity of our customers.
