The SUMMIT ASCENT-r
The SUMMIT ASCENT-r is a cable-driven running target system designed for shooting ranges that require dependable moving-target performance in demanding training environments. Built for durability and long-term operation, the ASCENT-r delivers smooth lateral target movement across the range while maintaining a robust mechanical design suited for high-volume training facilities.
Unlike wireless runner systems, the ASCENT-r uses a cable-driven configuration powered by a direct drive system that provides consistent performance and precise target motion. The system can be installed in ground-mounted or inverted configurations, allowing range designers to adapt the installation to a wide variety of facility layouts and training environments.
