At this year’s SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Meggitt introduced the industry’s first environmentally rugged, wireless target retrieval system: the Outdoor XWT.
Meggitt’s environmentally rugged, outdoor XWT is designed to withstand wet, humid, sandy and other harsh conditions that live fire ranges are exposed to on a constant basis. The Outdoor XWT will operate just as the indoor XWT, but within a ruggedized design.
The Outdoor XWT moves along the rail via an internal, variable speed, DC motor drive system eliminating the need to replace frayed cables and to continually adjust tension of cables and pulleys found on traditional target retrievers. This unique design also eliminates stray lead fragments and casings from damaging the power source. The Outdoor XWT is operated via wireless communication through a user-friendly, touch-screen controller. Additionally, Meggitt Training Systems’ improved rail system utilizes one-piece construction roll-formed steel track for increased durability, reduced maintenance and smoother operation.
