ABSTRACT:
A system for retrieval and replacement of targets which may be easily and quickly installed through self-locking mounting means for a drive unit and a target trap assembly as well as a snap-in arrangement for mounting trolley cables, a drive cord and a target carriage. A bullet trap assembly permits installation of its mounting bracket free of the bullet trap itself and provides for expeditious insertion and removal of the bullet trap for cleaning. The system includes battery-powered means for indoor and outdoor use, and provision is made for alternative connection to an external electrical power source, whereby the target carriage is driven away very rapidly between retrieved and target positions and the carriage may be stopped almost instantly in any desired position. Driving of the target carriage by the drive cord is accomplished through a center-mounted drive pulley which avoids side load, drive cord canting and cable run-off problems encountered with prior art target retrieval systems.
