LaRue Remote Targets function like the regular TG1 automatic targets, but can also be controlled from distance by an operator using a Transmitter. Remote Targets can thus rise and fall on command. Set up requires a few more steps than regular targets. The Remote Targets can operate by transmitter in Remote Mode, or in Automatic Mode without the Transmitter.

Remote operation is controlled by a Transmitter. One Transmitter is sent per group of 10 Remote Targets. The Transmitter can communicate with a target from up to one mile away. The same Charger used to charge the targets will recharge the Transmitter. No overcharging will occur.

About the Target
LaRue Targets are made of the highest quality materials and are produced on computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery that gives consistent high quality.

The silhouette is 28 inches high, 32 inches wide and is made of 3/8 inch steel plate that is hardened to 500 Brinnell. Silhouette plates are rated to accommodate 7.62mm NATO, but have been shot them with .300 Winchester Magnum at ranges as close as 200 meters without ill effect.

LaRue targets are battery powered and will cycle through approximately 1,800 down and up cycles before requiring a recharge. After being hit, the target returns to the upright position and automatically shuts off until the silhouette is again hit and knocked down. This is the primary reason for the systems long battery life. It also precludes having to turn the targets off and on, although there is a master on/off switch.

The targets are weatherproof and can be left out without damage. Users have reported leaving LaRue targets exposed to the weather over a year's time without affecting their operation. LaRue Tactical stands behind the quality of its targets and will repair or replace any target that is found to be defective.

Target specs.

Weight: 72 lbs.

Dimensions of target: 3/8" x 11.5" x 23.5"

Steel: AR500 hard armor plate steel (hardness of 500 Brinnell) ... commonly referred to as "rifle steel“

Recommended Caliber Distances

Be advised - it is the short, fast bullets (i.e. 5.56) that put the most wear on the target steel....long, slow bullets (i.e. 7.62) can be shot relatively close (25 meters) with little or no effect on the steel, as they expend their energy in a much slower manner. Pistol rounds do no wear whatsoever. These targets are good for pistol and small rifle rounds such as 5.56, 7.62, and 300 Win. Mag., 338 Lapua.
DO NOT SHOOT WITH .50 BMG!!!

5.56 (223 Rem.)
We recommend a minimum of 100 meters to maximize target life. There are regional training ranges shooting these targets as close as 50 meters....but they also have to budget to occasionally replace/refresh the target plates. This includes green tip.

7.62 (308 Win.)
We recommend a minimum of 50 meters to maximize target life. There are ranges shooting these targets as close as 25 meters....with apparently no ill effects.

300 Win. Mag.
We recommend a minimum of 150 meters to maximize target life. Usually not an issue because most long-gunners use 300 Win. Mags from 300 - 1,200 meters.

338 Lapua
We recommend a minimum of 200 meters to maximize target life. Usually not an issue because most long-gunners use 338 Lapuas from 500 - 2,000 meters.

.50 BMG DO NOT SHOOT WITH .50 BMG!!! The target is not made to withstand the energy of a .50BMG. Something on the target will break if hit by a .50!!!

Remote Operation

Set Up
Behind the silhouette, on the shaft assembly, is marked each target’s Remote Frequency. Remote Targets can be placed in random configuration on the range for a “shuffled” frequency arrangement.

SINGLE REMOTE SET UP
TO CONTROL 5 TARGETS

SINGLE REMOTE SET UP
TO CONTROL 5 BANKS OF 5 TARGETS

After setting the target on the ground in the desired location, flip the power switch to “ON”. Slam the silhouette down to make sure it rises and resets correctly. Each Remote Target is shipped with its own antenna, which MUST be securely installed. Target is ready to be engaged. By using the Transmitter, operator may cause the target to drop, remain lowered, and rise.

Remote Mode: Targets may be controlled separately using individual frequency switches, or all Remote Targets can be controlled simultaneously using the “Cycle All” switch. Remote Mode is accessed by using the left-direction “Cycle” command of the switches. Be sure no switches are moved to “Auto”. Pushing a frequency switch to “Cycle” will cause all targets set to that frequency to fall (i.e. all set to 5 will fall at the same time). Whether they are knocked down by transmitter or bullet, the targets will remain lowered. To raise the targets, flip the switch to “Cycle” again. Using the “Cycle” command will keep the targets in Remote Mode. Aside from being shot down, targets will only move when the Transmitter is used.

Automatic Mode: Remote Targets may also operate as Automatic Targets. In this mode, the silhouette will return to its upright, ready position every time it is knocked down, under its own control. This mode is acquired by pushing the desired Transmitter.
