CoverShots™ Mobile Canopies: The Ultimate Range Enhancement

CoverShots

Take a shot — we’ve got you covered. CoverShots™ Mobile Canopies are proving to fill a need and provide an excellent solution to eliminating lost or substandard practice time on the firing range. The ideal shaded shooting solution for law enforcement ranges. Not only do our mobile canopies offer protection from the elements, they also provide enhanced flexibility by allowing the canopy to be moved forward, backward or side to side as needed for pistol or rifle use. Using our onboard power kit, our large Eclipse canopies can be relocated in seconds to a new shooting position. Range time interruptions from harmful UV rays or rain are no longer an issue when deploying a CoverShots™ Mobile Canopy. For more information, visit covershotsrange.com.
