Abstract: A shooting target for use with high-power firearms comprising one or more movable targets moveably connected to an upstanding post. The post includes an elongate target guide structure defined by hollow cylinder with a guide slot in the cylinder wall. The target has a pivot section with a target arm extending generally perpendicularly therefrom and a distally disposed target face connected to the arm. The cylinder is sized to receive the pivot section therein so that the target arm extends outwardly though the guide slot, the guide slot configured to simultaneously direct movement of the target from one side of the guide to the other and downwardly as the target rotated in the guide structure following impact by a bullet. The target arm is configured to position the target adjacent to the upstanding post where it is visible to the shooter. The upstanding post is provided with a V-shaped impingement structure disposed facing the shooter and between the target support structure and the shooter.

Abstract: A self-resetting portable target assembly that is configured with a housing design to withstand repeated impacts from projectiles striking the target assembly without adverse effect on the target assembly function, that includes a moveable target face that eschews active operations to move the target face between positions visible to a shooter and hidden from a shooter. The target assembly further comprises a user-controllable means for retaining the moveable target face in a first position in which the target face is hidden from view of a shooter and selectively releasable whereupon the target face returns to a second position in which the target face is visible to the shooter. An operator interface enables a remote operator to manage the state of a target retainer means which, in turn, holds the target face in a hidden position or releases the target for viewing by a shooter allowing the operator to simulate a pop-up target to the shooter.
