Portable Remote Target Changer From TARGETVISION

    TargetVision has a new target system available. It is a remotely operated target changer that can operate out to about 600 feet. It is constructed primarily of aluminum with AR500 armor plating. The downside is that it comes in at $1595 and it weighs in at a hefty 97 pounds.

    It seems like the concept pairs well with use of a spotting scope (and they do sell a wireless spotting scope). I can see the utility for ranges or specialized applications (like rapidly switching between shoot/no shoot targets for distance competitions).

    When I shoot at long ranges, I’m normally not shooting enough to warrant multiple target changes–it is either for zeroing a rifle or punching a few rounds to keep the skills from completely going to crap. Personally I’m not sure if I could justify the cost for the infrequent distance shooting I do.

    What do you readers think? What applications can you come up where this would be a benefit?
