ABSTRACT:
A target control is provided for an amusement device to propel a target in translational motion along a predetermined path and to accelerate the movement of the target when it is struck by a beam of radiation. Preferably, in addition to accelerating the target, the target control reverses the direction of target movement. In this way a visible indication is given to a viewer that the target has been hit, yet the target is still available for further beams of radiation to be directed at it.
