Abstract
The disclosure relates to a moving target assembly for use in a target practice range. The moving target assembly includes a target, a target travel guide for guiding the target movement and including a pair of straight sections which are substantially at right angles to one another, and a chain drive running substantially parallel to the straight sections. The target includes selectively operable chain engaging devices so that the target may be selectively guided along one straight section or the other. The assembly also includes structure for returning the target to a home position. Also disclosed is a control for controlling a plurality of such assemblies, including selection of the targets, the speed of target travel, the raising and lowering of the targets, and the actuation of the chain drive motors.
