My asst TL came up with a great idea that we tried out back in Dec. The only problem with it was that we could only have one shooter at a time. I started working on a way to get more shooters on line at the same time and came up with what you see in this video:

I've got about $200 wrapped up in the system not including the heads. I rigged it with a spring to provide tension so whoever is operating the system only has to pull it one direction rather than both. I'm hoping to try it out at training Thursday to see how it goes. It should provide some challenging and realistic training for my guys.
Any ideas for improvements or criticism appreciated. I may explore making it motorized in the future, need to see how much torque the RC aircraft servos can generate.
