Lyman Auto Advance Target System

The Lyman Auto Advance Target System represents a fundamental shift in range training efficiency. This remote-controlled target stand eliminates the need to walk downrange or call ceasefire to advance targets, allowing shooters to operate from the bench at distances up to 200 yards using a handheld remote controller. Previously, this level of automation was found only in expensive industrial shooting facilities; the Auto Advance System now brings that capability to individual shooters, law enforcement training programs, and tactical ranges operating on standard budgets.

The system is built to handle extended training sessions without mechanical fatigue or performance degradation. At 36.25 pounds with dimensions of 11.5 x 7.5 x 30 inches, the stand occupies a manageable footprint while maintaining a stable platform for paper targets and reactive targets. The battery-powered remote mechanism allows operators to cycle through multiple targets sequentially, reducing administrative downtime between relays and enabling higher training throughput. This is particularly valuable for departments conducting qualification cycles or precision rifle courses where target rotation occurs dozens of times per session.

The Lyman Auto Advance Target System is suited for precision rifle training, law enforcement qualification programs, long-range marksmanship courses, and high-volume commercial range operations. Shooters conducting load development, sight-in procedures, or distance testing benefit from the ability to advance targets without breaking position. Range safety improves as operators remain downrange-clear throughout the training cycle. For coaches and instructors managing group training, the system reduces time spent on target management and increases time on instruction.

Among shooting systems designed for stationary range use, the Auto Advance platform fills the gap between basic paper target stands and commercial lane infrastructure. The remote advancement feature addresses a real operational constraint in marksmanship training—the need to maintain a safe, consistent training environment while minimizing downtime between shots. This design streamlines workflows for serious shooters, professional trainers, and facilities managing multiple concurrent courses.
