Law Enforcement Targets has signed a distribution agreement with Hale Outdoor Products, LLC of Somerset, Wis. for exclusive rights to distribute its MotoShot robotic mobile target product line that adds more reality to weapons training at an economical cost.

First introduced at the 2009 SHOT Show, the new interactive technology has been designed and optimized for use by law enforcement, government and homeland security agencies. Current users of the MotoShot system include Office of the Attorney General in Jackson, Miss.; National Security Associates in Cusseta, Ga.; Maricopa Tactical in Phoenix, Ariz.; and, Montgomery County Public Service Training in Rockville, Md.

MotoShot products are remotely operated, highly mobile and portable robots that can carry a variety of shooting targets -- including paper, plastic, cardboard -- and offer a range of options for moving target practice. For example, a 3-D plastic target can be dressed in camouflage clothing with gun in hand. Targets can be moved in any direction with pinpoint accuracy and variable speed. Options include the robot's capability to stop and target to collapse after being hit.

"In actual confrontations, how many times have officers ever seen an armed suspect move back and forth like current shooting technology? That's not what they do," says David Spaulding, former law enforcement officer and former training supervisor. "Suspects move, bop, weave and try to get out of the way and into better positions to shoot you. This system makes live firearms training with more realism like never before, including the adrenaline rush that officers feel when confronted with an armed suspect," he says.

"MotoShot is a perfect extension to the LET product line because it directly supports our goal to help our customers offer dynamic, engaging training scenarios leading to improved shooting skills and better use-of-force decision making," according to Tom Ahonen, president of Law Enforcement Targets.

The MotoShot Total Control Robot (TCR) starts at $1,695 and includes a range of accessories, in addition to a four-wheel model for more rugged training environments. Its patent is pending by MotoShot inventor and owner, David Hale. The product is manufactured in Somerset.

Founded in 1992, Law Enforcement Targets is a full-service target and accessories distributor based in the Minneapolis suburb of Blaine. The company designs and distributes shooting targets to homeland security agencies, police departments, military units, and gun clubs. It offers a wide selection of paper, cardboard, plastic, and steel targets in addition to cleaning supplies, eye/ear protection, dummy rounds, Less Lethal Training aids, and other accessories.
