HEXTA Match-Grade electronic targets headed into an independently owned range.
On the heels of the recent announcement of HEX System’s market entry of 10 lanes of their HEXTA e-target at Reade Range in Pennsylvania, the parties involved have added another range to their market entry footprint.
Independent Bar 3 Range, of Laurel Mississippi, has placed an order for 10 lanes of the HEXTA Match-Grade targets. Delivery is expected in several weeks.
Bar 3 Range is located at Laurel in Mississippi state. Owned and operated by entrepreneur Mike Bush, Bar 3 Range has a new modern facility including 25 lanes to 1000 yards, 10 lanes for small-bore to 100 yards, 10 lanes for pistol shooters. Mike, owner of Bar 3 says “we wanted to offer robust, reliable, simple to set-up electronic targets – that had also proven the test of time in accuracy and precision. When we researched the HEXTA product, testing them on our own range, the way we wanted to test them, they passed our scrutiny with ease. We were even delighted at its ability to report sub-sonic shots.” The intention of Bar 3 is to deploy the targets at various ranges, perhaps even rapid-fire and small-bore applications. As per usual, Bar 3 will host sanctioned competitive shooting matches using the e-target technology.
HEX Systems has been serving 40+ clubs in Australia for 7 years, and enjoys the largest market share on the continent. Ranges that are privately owned, and open for public users as a business, are not common in Australia. So, entering this type of customer relationship is new. “We are gratified that our full-service range system, with it’s features and benefits, has resonated with a user/owner intending to draw shooters to his facility through offering the opportunity to shoot on these targets for their personal use, says Dmitri Kazakov” co-founder of HEX Systems, and credentialed competitive shooter.
Co-founder Bruce Daniel says, “We have long looked for an private range that would use our system in a daily revenue stream business model. Bar 3 Range will exhibit those assets as shooters rent a target for load development, and follow their load specific progress on our HEX Systems Match-Grade software”.
go-Ballistic of Alberta Canada, the North American distributor of HEX Systems, made the journey to Bar 3 with two targets in early December. Rick Ratzlaff of goBallistic said, “Mike offered the warmest of hospitality and support. Together we put the entire system through a rigorous testing process using various calibers, ranges, and a handful of local shooters. It was a fun three days and we look forward to commissioning the targets for Mike in early 2017 so he can get on with his business development plan.”
That the HEXTA e-target product and its Match-Grade management system will soon be functioning full-scale with 10 lanes in a private ownership context, will perhaps offer new dimensions of validation and interest to the shooters wanting to take advantage of the benefits of a reliable e-target system.
