TAP TARGETS DESIGNED FOR HIGH-SPEED, UNPREDICTABLE PRESENTATIONS

When milliseconds matter, the D-TaPS™ target system challenges shooters to think, identify, and act under real pressure. Engineered for rapid 180-degree rotations in just two-tenths of a second, D-TaPS delivers unpredictable threat/no-threat presentations that force shooters to rely on judgment—not anticipation. Each unit operates independently, giving instructors complete control to design complex, multi-target environments that sharpen reaction time and visual processing.

Whether used in law enforcement, military, or tactical training, D-TaPS brings unmatched realism to every range. Its quick transitions mimic the unpredictability of real-world situations. This helps reduce decision-making errors and builds confidence in high-stress environments. Durable and adaptable, D-TaPS integrates smoothly with Action Target’s range control software. This system enables trainers to design scenarios that distinguish instinct from hesitation. It prepares shooters for critical moments that matter most.

FAST, JUDGMENT-BASED TRAINING

D-TaPS challenges officers to recognize, process, and engage threats under time constraints that mimic real encounters. With a 180° rotation in just 0.2 seconds, the system eliminates anticipation and forces authentic judgment-based decisions. Each target can be controlled independently or synchronized with others, allowing instructors to build realistic multi-threat scenarios that sharpen reaction time and visual processing.

  • 180° turns in 0.2 seconds—faster than the brain can consciously react

  • Removes predictability, forcing true decision-making

  • Builds faster recognition, cleaner transitions, and confidence under stress

  • Manage single or multiple units for scalable scenarios

  • Vary timing and sequence to increase cognitive load

  • Create unpredictable environments that build resilience

  • Coordinate scenarios through range control software

  • Store and repeat drills for consistency across classes

  • Measure decision accuracy and shot accountability

RISK MITIGATION THROUGH REALISM

Every aspect of D-TaPS is engineered to improve safety through realism. By teaching shooters to identify before engaging, it reinforces the judgment process critical to reducing liability and minimizing risk in the field. The system’s precision turning motion ensures smooth, controlled movement—no jerks, no mechanical surprises—keeping the focus on safe, deliberate execution.

  • Strengthens threat ID and shoot/no-shoot decision-making

  • Reduces training scars caused by predictable target movement

  • Builds mental discipline that directly transfers to field performance

  • Smooth 180° rotation prevents mechanical failure or sudden target motion

  • Stable mounting minimizes vibration or debris displacement

  • Consistent performance under high round counts

  • Allows instructors to scale difficulty gradually

  • Reinforces safe muzzle discipline and engagement sequencing

  • Keeps safety front-of-mind while increasing complexity

BUILT FOR DURABILITY & FLEXIBILITY

Engineered for continuous law enforcement use, D-TaPS withstands heavy-duty cycles and demanding environments. Available in upright or inverted configurations, it installs easily in existing indoor or outdoor ranges. A heated option ensures year-round reliability—even in sub-zero conditions—so training never stops.

  • Heavy-duty materials protect internal components

  • Optional ballistic shield safeguards the motor and linkage

  • Designed for thousands of consistent, repeatable turns

  • Heated system option for cold-weather operation

  • Performs reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments

  • Resistant to dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations

  • Ceiling-mounted, upright, or knee-wall configurations

  • Adapts easily to any range design

  • Modular setup for quick integration or relocation

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

From qualification drills to advanced tactical decision-making courses, D-TaPS empowers instructors with precision control and quick adaptability.
