ABSTRACT:
A target shooting range having a designated shooter position, at least one target position and a target carrier system. The carrier system includes a rail extending between the shooter position and the target position with a movable target carrier mounted on the rail for movement between those two positions. The movable target carrier has a carriage portion comprising a wheeled vehicle and a lower target holder portion depending from the carriage portion. The lower target holder portion is movable to a retracted position as the carrier is being moved from the shooter position to a target position. Bullet deflection plates are suspended from the ceiling of the range beneath the carrier rail and have the function of protecting the upper carriage portion of the carrier from being struck and gradually destroyed by bullets fired from the shooter position.
