COLUMBUS, Ohio (Columbus Dispatch) Columbus Shooting Center introduced the EdgeTracker smarttarget system this week, allowing shooters to receive instant digital feedback on shot placement, grouping statistics, and recoilmanagement metrics via a smartphone app. The system, developed by tech startup BallisticEdge, uses sensorembedded target frames and a WiFi bridge to transmit impact data in under 200milliseconds. Range manager Tyler Nguyen demonstrated the system during a livefire seminar, highlighting features such as groupsize analytics, splittime calculations, and adjustable target presentation speeds. Instructors can now track a students performance metrics continuously, without having to walk downrange, Nguyen said. It accelerates learning curves by pinpointing consistent errorswhether its flinchinduced vertical stringing or triggerpull lateral deviation.
