Abstract
A target support structure and system which holds and turns a flat target from edge to face and back again. Targets are held and turned at the bottom and are supported at the top by a pivoting connection attached to a stationary bar frame. The system is easily mounted, is able to accomodate a variety of targets, may be activated through pneumatics or any adaptable power source, may be interfaced with electric, pneumatic, or similar control devices, and is uniquely designed to minimize bullet damage and splatter.
