ABSTRACT:
A cabinet housing mechanically actuated target components to provide multiple moving targets to the shooter. Rails guide gravitating ball members with scoring indicated by the upsetting of same off a rail. A ball transfer provides for transition of a gravitating ball from one rail to another. A ball lift mechanism includes a continuous conveyor including ball carriers. Elevation of a ball by the conveyor simultaneously cocks an ejector which discharges the ball onto an uppermost rail. The ball is confined, during lifting, for travel upwardly to progressively load the ejector which imparts initial velocity to the ball member target. A conveyor motor serves additionally to actuate reciprocating targets through a power takeoff arrangement.
