  • Patent number: 4732394
    Abstract: An automated device for raising shooting range targets of the type which are arranged to fall over backwards from the impact of a bullet comprises a base having a vertical flange adapted to face the firing line when the device is installed on the range and a horizontal flange extending rearwardly therefrom. The target is hinged to the top of the vertical flange and is adapted to swing backwardly to a generally horizontal rest position concealed from the view of the shooter and upwardly and forwardly to an upright position facing the firing line. A main shaft driven by an electric motor is revolvably mounted behind the upright flange portion. A target raising arm, one for each target, pivots on the axis of the main shaft and swings from a rest position beneath the target when the latter is in its rest position upwardly about its pivot to engage and raise its target to upright position.
