Thanks for the informative video. I have taken the challenge this winter to build up a half dozen rotating, swinging and pop up man targets but wanted to shy away from electric motors, solenoids, acuators, wires and batteries. Your methods of "triggering" the activation of the secondary target from the weight of the popper and a cord and counterweights or springs is very innovative. Nothing but physics; weights, counterweights, pull cords and gravity....totally off the grid shoot'em anywhere. You gave me some great ideas for several other designs with multiple secondary targets each timed differently from one main popper drop. The most valuable video I've watched in a month. And saved me hours of brainstorming with friends.
Many of these competition course have the targets at known locations and distance. As as demonstrated here, you can simply learn where the target is going to be and "cheat" your aiming point by anticipating. Just like a video game, you can simply move quickly from target to target by using muscle memory.
I understand knowing how fast the target is and its pausing points for competition shooting. But doesn't it pretty much defeat the entire purpose of moving targets? For it to be spontaneous and random to simulate reacting to a threat.

Great shooting and thanks for the tech video for shooting.
good advise...and thanks for your service....

Cool video and good advice!
🎉Thank you so much for strategies.‼️
great advice thanks
How does this last target work? How do I make one of these?
Cool vid.
Great for run-N-gun courses!
do you have the plans for these available?

It is a game, not real time threat simulation.
+tankspl7 yeah good point.
Why the heck can't I get this?
USAMU rules!
I was expecting ... You know moving targets... I was not expecting a man with his shirt tucked into his pants.
If you wanted to see a man shoot other men on TH-cam of all places, you're so low IQ I can't even imagine how your thought process works.
