Action Target Introduces TopShot™ Shotgun Ranges – A New Era for Indoor Clay Target Sports

Provo, Utah December 2025 – Action Target, the undisputed global leader in shooting range innovation for nearly four decades, today introduced the most significant advancement in indoor shotgun sports: the TopShot™ Indoor Shotgun Range system.

Already live at the world’s first TopShot™ installation, Lake Erie Arms in Ohio, this turnkey platform is engineered to deliver unmatched shooter engagement while dramatically increasing commercial range profitability. It delivers hyper-realistic trap, skeet, five-stand, and sporting clays experiences in a completely indoor, weather-proof, gamified environment that operators are calling “the Topgolf of shotgun sports.” Lake Erie Arms’ acclaimed TopShot ClayHouse features eight semi-private shooting suites, each accommodating up to four shooters with integrated digital controls and on-screen guidance to keep sessions moving smoothly. These high-capacity suites helped the 94,000 sq. ft. facility earn the prestigious NSSF Five-Star rating faster than any range in recent memory.

Powered by the proprietary TopShot™ platform, the new range type combines clay flight paths, suite-based multiplayer gameplay (up to four shooters per bay), and fully automated digital controls that eliminate operational friction and maximize throughput.

“This isn’t just a new product, it’s a category new standard,” said Kevin Tomaszewski, Sr. Vice President & General Manager of Action Target. “We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from building thousands of the world’s most engaging commercial ranges and channeled it into creating an entertainment and training destination that appeals to hardcore competitors, families, corporate groups, and first-time shooters alike.” Tomaszewski continued, “Lake Erie Arms is the first range to incorporate this new product, and the results speak for themselves: packed bays, rave reviews, families and competitive shooters returning multiple times per week. TopShot™ doesn’t just bring clay sports indoors, it makes them more accessible, more social, and more profitable.”

WHY TOPSHOT IS THE CATEGORY KILLER OPERATORS HAVE WAITED FOR

For commercial operators, entertainment centers, and forward-thinking clubs, TopShot™ is one of the most powerful customer acquisition and retention tools in the shotgun category. It broadens appeal to newcomers, families, corporate groups, and serious competitors while still delivering the authenticity that keeps elite shooters coming back.

  • Already battle-tested and customer-validated at Lake Erie Arms (the world’s first TopShot™ range), delivering sold-out weekends and industry awards since opening.
  • Up to four shooters per suite, rapid session turnover, automated everything, and large-capacity clay carousels keep lanes full and labor costs low.
  • Pre-loaded classic disciplines plus up to eight fully customizable courses, realistic flight paths, rabbit throwers, and special modes like glow-clay sessions under black lights.
  • Configurations from 6 to 48 throwers fit any footprint and budget, with seamless future expansion built in.
  • Digital scoring, on-screen guidance, remote supervisory consoles, “no-bird” overrides, and pause functionality make it virtually staff-proof.
“Outdoor clay sports have always been constrained by weather, land, and daylight,” said Michael Birch, President and CEO of Action Target. “We’ve removed every barrier. Now operators can offer a premium shotgun experience 365 days a year, in any climate, in the heart of major metropolitan markets.”
