Wireless Target Retrieval Technology

The RIDGE-360 operates using Spire’s wireless retriever architecture, which eliminates the need for extensive cabling along the shooting lane. Traditional wired retriever systems require complex electrical routing that can increase installation time and create additional maintenance points over the life of the range.

By removing much of this infrastructure, the RIDGE-360 allows ranges to maintain a cleaner lane environment while improving overall system reliability. Fewer mechanical connections mean fewer potential failure points and less downtime for range operators.

For range developers and operators, this approach simplifies installation during new construction and provides greater flexibility when planning range upgrades or expansions.

Dynamic Turning Target Capability

One of the defining features of the RIDGE-360 system is its ability to rotate targets through multiple orientations. The system supports turning modes of 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and full 360 degree rotation.

Turning targets are commonly used in professional training environments where shooters must react to targets that appear or turn toward them. This type of target presentation introduces a level of realism that cannot be achieved with static targets alone.

By combining turning capability with wireless retrieval, the RIDGE-360 allows ranges to deliver advanced training scenarios while maintaining the convenience of a traditional target retriever system.

Built for Demanding Range Environments

Target retrievers are among the most frequently used pieces of equipment in a shooting range. They must operate consistently under repeated cycles throughout the day while maintaining smooth movement and reliable responsiveness.

The RIDGE-360 is engineered with durability in mind. Its construction focuses on minimizing wear points while maintaining stable operation under heavy use. This allows ranges to maintain lane availability during peak hours and reduce service interruptions.

Reliable equipment keeps shooters training and allows range operators to focus on providing a better overall shooting experience.

Smooth and Consistent Target Performance

Consistency is essential in any retriever system. Shooters expect targets to travel smoothly downrange and return without hesitation, misalignment, or delays.

The RIDGE-360 is designed to deliver predictable target movement that supports both recreational shooting and professional training exercises. Smooth operation allows shooters to stay focused on marksmanship and timing rather than equipment performance.

This consistency also helps improve range throughput by reducing interruptions and maintaining efficient lane operation.

Simplified Installation for Range Builders

Range construction often involves integrating multiple systems including target controls, containment systems, ventilation equipment, and safety infrastructure. Complex wiring associated with traditional retrievers can increase installation time and complicate range design.

The wireless architecture used by the RIDGE-360 helps simplify the installation process by reducing the need for extensive cabling along the lane. This allows range builders to design cleaner infrastructure and integrate the system more easily into new range builds.

For facilities planning upgrades, the simplified design also makes it easier to incorporate new retriever systems without extensive modifications to the existing range layout.

Part of the Spire Range System

The RIDGE-360 integrates seamlessly with the broader ecosystem of Spire shooting range equipment. When combined with Spire target systems, containment solutions, range controls, and training environments, the system contributes to a fully integrated range experience.

This system approach allows range operators to create facilities that are not only highly functional but also easier to manage and maintain. Every component is designed to work together to support safety, reliability, and consistent performance.
