The Standard Duty Target Frame
 Construction:
Our standard duty turning target unit consists of a metal base with an incredibly strong injection molded plastic rotating frame assembly. The long legs on this metal target base provide stability even on unprepared surfaces. The rotating frame on the standard duty target unit is designed to accept wooden supports spaced to fit IPSC type targets. The frame can be easily modified to accept paper targets.

Advantages of the Standard Duty Frame:
- The plastic rotating frame assembly is computer designed and stress-tested to ensure strength and durability.
- If the rotating frame is accidentally damaged it is economical to replace because it costs about 25% of the cost of a metal frame.
- Plastic construction makes the rotating frame totally weather resistant.
- Since the turning target unit is designed for quick disassembly replacing a damaged rotating frame takes only a couple minutes meaning that you will have very little range "down time."
- Using lightweight material for the rotating frame reduces the air pressure needed to turn it. Therefore, more target operations are available from a single stored air tank.
- The targets base uses an enclosed air module box. The pneumatic system components are protected from dust, water and UV radiation.

By removing one pin at the target frame end of the air module the vertical shaft and the rotating frame assembly can be removed greatly aiding portability.
The plastic rotating frame is less likely than metal frames to produce ricochets if accidentally hit (See the photo gallery). A bullet striking the frame tends to either produce a hole in the frame or to break off a piece of the frame, depending on bullet caliber and velocity. This excellent safety feature can also reduce your exposure to liability and possible complaints from neighbors since a bullet hitting the frame will tend to continue on its course into the range backstop.
We also carry compact portable turning target frames.
