ABSTRACT:
A portable motorized system of pulleys and cable which moves a three dimensional, or conventional target around a predetermined path. The purpose of this system is to simulate, through movement, the actions of an animal during hunting conditions. This system allows the user, to shoot at a target which moves and changes directions, while standing in one place. The system is suspended by attaching screwhooks into fixed objects such as trees, poles, buildings etc. A motor assembly which is attached to one of the supports turns a drive pulley. The cable and target are moved through a series of idler pulleys, by the drive pulley, around a closed circuit. A hand operated ratchet is utilized at another support location to apply tension to the system. The tension causes the system to be fully suspended from the supports. The motor is powered by a twelve volt battery, a switch and fuse are also incorporated. In addition a power interrupter switch, or kill switch, may be introduced between the power supply and the system switch allowing the user to operate the system from the firing line. This system is intended to be used indoors or outdoors and may be set up on an outdoor walk through target range.
