ABSTRACT:
A portable target assembly including a target plate having both a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation. Further included is a drive mechanism adapted to effect raising of the target plate upon the receipt of a target raise signal and further effect lowering of the target plate upon the receipt of a target lower signal. For controlling the present invention, a control mechanism is adapted to transmit to the drive mechanism a target lower signal upon the target being hit. Also, the control mechanism is adapted to transmit to the drive mechanism a target raise signal upon the receipt of proper indication from a user with a hand-held transmitter. In an alternate embodiment, a timer is connected to the control mechanism in lieu of utilizing a transmitter. In such embodiment, the control mechanism is adapted to transmit to the drive mechanism a target raise signal after a predetermined amount of time after the target is hit.
