Wireless Target Retrieval Technology

The RIDGE retriever uses Spire’s wireless architecture to eliminate many of the challenges associated with traditional wired target retrievers. Conventional systems often require extensive cabling and control infrastructure running the length of each lane.

By removing much of this wiring, the RIDGE system simplifies range installation while improving long-term reliability. Fewer mechanical connections and electrical components help reduce maintenance needs and minimize potential failure points.

For range developers and operators, this design provides a cleaner lane environment and a system that is easier to install, maintain, and upgrade.

Built for Demanding Range Environments

Shooting ranges operate in environments where equipment must perform reliably under constant use. Target retrievers are cycled repeatedly throughout the day, making durability a critical factor.

The RIDGE Wireless Retriever is engineered to handle this workload. Its construction focuses on maintaining smooth operation while minimizing wear points across the system.

Reliable equipment helps reduce downtime and keeps lanes available for shooters during peak operating hours.

Consistent Target Performance

Accuracy training depends on reliable equipment. Shooters expect targets to travel smoothly downrange and return without hesitation or misalignment.

The RIDGE system is designed to provide predictable target movement that supports both recreational shooting and professional training exercises. Smooth and responsive operation helps shooters maintain focus on marksmanship and timing rather than equipment performance.

This reliability also improves range throughput by keeping lanes operating efficiently.

Simplified Infrastructure for Range Builders

Range construction requires careful coordination between ventilation systems, containment equipment, safety systems, and target infrastructure. Traditional retriever systems can add complexity due to the amount of wiring and control hardware required.

The wireless architecture used by the RIDGE retriever reduces this complexity by minimizing lane wiring and mechanical connections. This simplified approach allows range builders to design cleaner infrastructure and complete installations more efficiently.

For facilities planning upgrades or expansions, the RIDGE system can often be integrated without major structural modifications.

Part of the Spire Range System

The RIDGE Wireless Retriever 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 RIDGE contributes to a fully integrated range experience.

This system approach allows range operators to build facilities that are highly functional while remaining easier to manage and maintain.
