The Targamite Targabot Target Training System is designed for the shooter whose goal is to become more comfortable engaging the unexpected out in the real world. An individual who desires to achieve the skill and knowledge of a comfortable shooter who can engage in any unexpected situation out in the real world. That is the purpose of the Targabot – to build muscle memory in your shooting skills to apply when things begin to move out there. We do this by combining standard targets with programmable robotics.

Our end-user community would naturally be trainers within law enforcement, armed forces and self-defense communities, but would also embrace shooters who, for whatever reason, want more challenging and engaging target shooting experiences that could potentially pay dividends in an increasingly unpredictable environment.
