Abstract

A novel, moving target system for the improved practice of hunting and improved shooting skills. The target may be comprised of one or more knockdown target sections moving along a track assembly on a carriage and may be preprogrammed to simulate random, realistic behaviors including running, walking, or grazing to simulate hunting game. The target may be programmed to adjust its speed randomly or in reaction to a gunshot or strike on the target or may be programmed to pause or randomly reverse direction, approximating the random behavior observed in hunting targets. The knockdown sections will react to a strike with preprogrammed behavior as described above, giving immediate feedback to the shooter.
