Fullbore, NRA-US Palma and Highpower, very long range testing training and development - the Aschera eSpot electronic target system is designed for the rifle shooters of the world. Replacing a person manning each target and manually marking shots, eSpot's precision acoustical sensors detect the exact location of each shot fired and instantly transmits this to compact wireless display panel units on the firing line. Fully weatherproof and portable, eSpot quietly handles a full day of the most miserable dirt, rain, cold, wind, heat and dust that are inflicted on outdoor centrefire rifle shooting. Anything that shooters and their rifles can endure, eSpot takes in stride.
Electronic target systems are not at all new to the shooting world, having dominated the top levels of ISSF shooting for twenty years. But outdoor shooting without any protection from the elements raises surprisingly tough challenges for electronic and mechanical equipment if it is expected to simply "just work" for the shooter, not just simply survive.
Most ranges do not have electrical power available. Some ranges do not permit permanent installation of targets or wiring, and on-site storage space is often limited or unavailable. Typical fullbore practice is to fire several different distances during the day, which requires either several different target locations, or shooting from different firing positions, or both. This is the world eSpot was built for.
Designed from the beginning by fullbore shooters for fullbore shooters, the superb engineering and workmanship of eSpot makes it look as easy as it ought to be.
