Target system

A target system designed to be stand-alone and modular which includes a target area which is two or more sided and which can be rotated through a large number of different positions and rotations. The system can also include systems for projectile impact recognition. Target rotation is generally accomplished through a target base that is in communication with and configured to receive data input from a remote target controller.

Wireless target system
20180283830 · 2018-10-04 ·

A wirelessly controlled electrically driven shooting target system(s) that can transition from concealed position to ready position and then back to concealed position. It can be used in a variety of shooting environments. The shooting target apparatus includes the following main components: Main houseing with base, interchangeable target holder, TTP130 gearbox, camshaft, double torsion spring (DTS), leaf spring, main housing meshing gear, four magnets, wireless receiver and the remote goes with it. According to one embodiment, activation of drive mechanism to active the camshaft compress DTS, then magnets attracting and disconnection to cause movement of the target holder, the key mechanism is reserve potential energy and fast conversion of kinetic energy from potential energy, which achieved by magnets attracting and disconnection. Also included is a wireless signal receiver for receiving a wireless control signal to activate the drive mechanism to cause movement of the target holder from the concealed position to the revealed positon and from revealed position to the concealed position.
