Auto reset Silhouette Setup I made

[Martin3528]

Here is a video of a resetting silhouette target setup. all four lanes reset when I push the button at the bench. Runs on a 12v battery

Well done! So nice to have the tools and know how to make something like that

Hello Martin,

That is just really cool and some great design work. Is it wireless remote or hard wired? That is a set of targets that I could shoot all day long

Pretty awesome! That magnet bar was clever.

 

[Martin3528]

Thanks for the comments. It is wired as I wanted to run them all off one battery. I do have a design that would be completely automated and when all the targets are shot, they automatically reset. The magnet bar is a little strong, so I may switch it for some cabinet door magnets.

Great job! Awesome idea and implementation.

so when are you going into selling so you can buy more air guns ?

Sweet! I used a micro switch on my single unit. You could probably do the same but just on the last target as the reset switch. And another to retract the bar when the bar is up. A timer could also be integrated if you do not have limit switches.

That was the original intent. I do have some programmable timers, but since the battery is right next to my shooting bench, I guess I can hold down a button for ten seconds! LOL.

Uh...

Hello, if you are going to use that type of reasoning, you could have save a bunch of money by just using a long string.

Do you know how much effort it would take to reset 20 silhouette targets? I would need a winch.

Less effort than to wire a couple switches and timers ?
