ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a target range and mechanisms for use on those target ranges.
The mechanisms comprise a trolley for use in shooting ranges wherein the trolley is constructed and arranged to be movable backwards and forwards along a track and including a target moving mechanism adapted, in use, to carry a target and to move the target from an operative shooting position to an inoperative shooting position and wherein the target moving mechanism is adapted to move the target such that in use, the width of the trolley and target across the direction of intended movement of the trolley when the target is in the inoperative shooting position is not substantially greater than the width of the trolley and target across the direction of intended movement of the trolley when the target is in the operative shooting position.
Preferably the trolley has a target moving mechanism such that in use, the plane of the target extends parallel with the direction of intended movement of the trolley in both the operative and inoperative shooting positions.
Preferably the trolley also has a target moving mechanism which is such as, in use, to move the target from the operative to inoperative shooting positions with the plane of the target swinging in a generally vertical plane extending in the direction of intended movement of the trolley.
Alternatively the trolley has a target moving mechanism which is such that, in use, the plane of the target extends transverse to the direction of intended movement of the trolley in both the operative and inoperative shooting positions.
The range has a trolley and a track along which the trolley is to move, said track being of a width only sufficiently wide to allow the trolley to pass and being of a depth which when the trolley is in the track the top of the trolley will be below the depth of the track the path further being such that, in use, the trolley and the target, when in the inoperative position, are out of sight of a shooter at a firing position and wherein the path over substantially its whole extent is also out of sight of the shooter at the firing position.
