F.A.Q.
ABOUT THE SHOT BOT
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY SHOT BOT IS DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONS?
Shot Bot USA warrants that your Shot Bot Target System will be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal field and range use for one year from the date of purchase. We understand normal field and range use could mean the target system accidentally gets shot. Shot Bot will, at its option, repair or replace without charge upon receipt of proof of the date of purchase.
DOES EACH NEW TARGET REQUIRE ITS OWN REMOTE CONTROL?
The Six Button Remote Controller can sequence activations for an array of up to 8 target bases. However, the Single Button Remote Controller is only able to control a single target at one time.
WHERE ARE SHOT BOTS PRODUCED?
The products are designed and manufactured in the United States, with operations based primarily in Columbia, Missouri.
The Shot Bot Target System was created by inventor and entrepreneur Kris Knutson in 2019.
The idea for the portable target system came from another product of Knutson's, called the Bird-Bot, which activates clay pigeon traps for sporting clays, trap and skeet shooting enthusiast.
Work on the Shot Bot began when Kris realized this “Smart” technology could be adapted for firearms training targets.
Knutson developed the first Shot Bot prototype in early 2018, and tested it in numerous tactical training scenarios. After overwhelming positive feedback from the law enforcement officers in these tests, Knutson knew that the device had tremendous potential for firearms training programs.
The Shot Bot underwent numerous revisions and modifications throughout the year, both in terms of hardware and software. The final product was relatively small, lightweight, and able to be activated at long ranges. These features made it ideal for both close quarters and long range training scenarios in the field as well as urban environments.
