ATSR - ARM-102

A distinct feature of the ATRS range is the special grip called the ARM-102. The ARM-102 holds and secures target firmly in place as well as providing the electrical contact so that no matter where the projectile strikes the target, the hit is accurately recorded. Because of its structure, the ARM-102 also enables users of other systems to simply and easily upgrade their existing ranges to a SCT based range. This arm (called the ARM-102) is patented in many countries worldwide.
