ABSTRACT:
A target array in which a struck pendulous target rotates past and interacts with a shock absorber before coming to rest in a set position on a ledge. The shock absorber consists of a laterally-extending shaft that extends through a piece of pipe. The diameter of the shaft is appreciably less than the inside diameter of the pipe, so that the pipe is pendulously supported on the shaft. The shaft is parallel to but spaced from the axis about which the target rotates. The spacing is such that as the struck target rotates it contacts and pushes aside the pipe, thereby transferring energy from the target to the pipe and preventing the target from rebounding when it reaches its set position resting on a laterally-extending ledge. The laterally-extending ledge also is rotatable about a laterally-extending axis and is connected to a resetting target. When the resetting target is struck, the impact causes the ledge to rotate out from under the set targets which descend by gravity to their original positions.
