The BolaWrap is intended for targets at what distance?

• A. 5-15 feet
• B. 10-20 feet
• C. 20-30 feet
• D. 0-5 feet

Answer: (B)

Understanding how far the BolaWrap can reliably reach is essential. The device is designed to be deployed from a distance that keeps the officer safe while the tether reaches the target to wrap around limbs and restrain. In practice, its operating range is about 10 to 20 feet. This distance balances accuracy, tether reach, and safety: it’s far enough to maintain space from a potentially dangerous subject, but close enough to ensure the wrap is effective. Getting in too close—around 0 to 5 feet—can reduce the chance the tether catches and wraps properly. Going beyond 20 feet can compromise accuracy and effectiveness. So the intended distance is roughly 10 to 20 feet.
