Forward and back
The carrier takes the target from the stall to the chosen distance and brings it back. Three speeds: walk, jog and run, up to 12 ft/s (≈ 3.7 m/s). Wireless systems reach 110 yards (≈ 100 m) or more.

Lanes and target carriers
How a Spire lane works
Each lane has its own target hanging from a carrier that travels along a rail. The instructor or shooter controls it from a touch screen, without walking out to the target.
- 01
Modular rail
A modular steel rail, mounted to the ceiling or floor structure, runs the lane from the stall to the bullet trap. It has end stops and a homing sensor so the carrier always knows where it is.
- 02
Carrier (the “cart”)
The carrier rides the rail with a robust drive motor. On the Ridge systems it runs on a wireless battery: there is no wiring along the lane, installation is cleaner and there are fewer points of failure.
- 03
Clamp and target
The carrier holds the target with a clamp: paper, cardboard or steel. Several clamp styles are available and, on turning systems, a motor rotates the target to show or hide it.
- 04
Touch control
A master screen at the instructor station and local screens in each stall send commands by radio. They come with built-in programs: qualification courses of fire and competitive games.
Target movement
What the target can do
The systems can be combined in the same range to build increasingly demanding drills.
90°, 180° and 360° turn
The target shows face-on, edge-on or turned away on the instructor's command, for exposure-time, reaction and identification drills. Electric models turn 90° in as little as 0.33 s and offer random turning.
Lateral movement
The runners (“running man”) cross the field of fire from side to side in walk, jog, run or random mode. They force shooters to track the target and lead their shots, which a fixed target cannot teach.
Target catalog
Spire target systems
Three families in the Summit line, plus the Command line for heavy-use ranges. Manufacturer data; metric conversions are approximate.
Forward-and-back carriers: Summit Ridge-360, Ridge and Ascent
These are the lane carriers: they take the target downrange and bring it back. The Ridge-360 adds electric turning; the Ridge is the lower-cost version without turning; the Ascent is cable-driven and its carrier is outdoor-rated.
- No wiring along the lane (Ridge): simpler installation and less maintenance.
- Robust drive motor and modular rail.
- Battery life for a full day of use.
- Optional LED lighting and multiple clamp styles.

The Ridge can later be upgraded to the Ridge-360 if turning is needed. The manufacturer lists the Ascent as “coming soon”: ask about availability.
Lateral-movement runners: Summit Ridge-360r, Ridge-r and Ascent-r
The “Running Man” series moves the target side to side across the field of fire to simulate people in motion. Ideal for law enforcement, military and advanced civilian training. The Ridge-360r combines lateral movement with rapid target turning.
| Summit Ridge-360r | Summit Ridge-r | Summit Ascent-r | |

| Power | Wireless battery | Wireless battery | Cable-driven |

| Maximum distance | 110+ yd (≈ 100 m) | 110+ yd (≈ 100 m) | Up to 30 yd (≈ 27 m) |
| Mounting | Ceiling | Ceiling | Ceiling or ground |
The Ascent-r is the cable-driven, more budget-friendly option; the Ridge-r and Ridge-360r run a much longer distance.
Turning targets: Summit Peak and Valley Waypoint-i
Turning targets present and hide the target on the instructor's command, to train reaction time, accuracy and decision-making under pressure. Floor and ceiling (inverted), manual and electric versions are available.
| Summit Peak | Summit Peak-i | Summit Peak-360 | Summit Peak-360i | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turning | Manual 90° / 180° | Manual 90° / 180° | 90° / 180° / 360° / random | 90° / 180° / 360° / random |

The Valley Waypoint-i is a ceiling-mounted manual turner with 16 positions across the full 360°, with quick angle and height adjustment.
Command line: Urban, Fury, Bridger and Treadwell
Command Urban
Non-turning overhead carrier designed to minimize cabling headaches and maintenance. Controlled from touch screens configured for your range.
Command Fury
Stationary ground-mounted turner: electric actuators turn the target 90°, 180° and 360° very quietly, with random edging, target tease and friend/foe presentation. Individual or synchronized control; all-weather rated.
Command Bridger
Quiet pneumatic 90° turning with a 3/8 in (9.5 mm) AR500 ballistic shield. Optional heated thermostat for freezing weather: all-weather rated.
Command Treadwell
Lateral-moving target with walk, jog, run and random speed modes. Mimics a running person, very useful on tactical ranges.
Ballistic containment
Bullet traps, baffles and walls
Systems to capture the projectile, prevent ricochets and protect range equipment.
Helix
Steel trap in 3/8 in (9.5 mm) AR500 with a low impact angle and a reinforced chamber. Handles up to 3,600 ft-lb (≈ 4,880 J) of energy and 3,300 fps (≈ 1,000 m/s): 5.56 NATO, 7.62 NATO, .308 Win and others; limited use of .50 BMG. Reclaims lead and reduces splashback.
Blackout
Recycled granulated rubber trap for high-volume ranges: it stops the projectile, dampens sound and needs little maintenance. Modular, with several rubber depths, deck options and ballistic ratings; fire-resistant coating. Reduces bullet breakup and lead dust.
Welkin
Modular ballistic baffle (patent pending) that protects the ceiling and fixtures. Adapts to any range, indoor or outdoor, new or existing, with several steel thicknesses and facings.

FAQ
About Spire target systems
What is the difference between a forward-and-back carrier and a lateral-moving target?
A forward-and-back carrier moves the target toward and away from the shooter along the lane. A lateral mover (“running man”) moves it side to side across the field of fire to simulate real movement and improve target tracking.
What are the benefits of wireless carriers?
They reduce wiring and installation complexity, allow faster and more flexible setup, and simplify maintenance without giving up reliability.
When should I choose a 360° turning target?
When you want maximum flexibility: the target can appear, disappear or change orientation in an instant, for advanced drills.
What is the difference between the Ridge and the Ridge-360?
“360” means automatic electronic turning. The Ridge does not turn, costs less and can be upgraded to the Ridge-360 when you need it. The same applies to the Ridge-r and Ridge-360r.
Can different systems be used together in the same range?
Yes. Many ranges combine carriers, turners and runners to create layered scenarios.
Do the systems adapt to my range?
Yes. They can be configured for many indoor and outdoor layouts, and RGM Advanced solutions are 100% custom.
What maintenance do they need?
It depends on the system, but generally includes routine inspections, cleaning and occasional part replacement. Wireless and modular designs simplify maintenance. Ask us about spare parts and service.
Are they also suitable for a recreational range?
Yes. Although many systems are built for professional training, they also make the experience more engaging in commercial and recreational ranges.
