the cable 152 across the target range between the stands 210 212 moving target 150 motion is initiated by an arrow that impacts a stationary target 165 and is sensed by an impact sensor 195 one of the pulleys 214 216 is operably attached directly or indirectly to a drive motor 175 an example of indirect linkage to the drive motor would include a torque speed converter not shown like a speed reducer gearbox an end of range sensor e g a limit switch 190 is mounted on either stand 210 212 or on moving target 150 to signal the motion controller 200 when moving target 150 reaches either stand 210 212 electronics and electromechanics of the present invention are contained in a housing 224 the motion controller 180 runs the drive motor 175 in the direction indicated by the motor reset circuit 200 the drive motor 175 direction maybe regulated by the motion controller 180 switching the drive motor 39 s 175 polarity upon contact with the impact sensor 195 motion controller 180 includes a delay circuit 185 that will effectively delay the drive motor 175 activation in sufficiently to allow the archer to reload an arrow and return to a firing stance the motor controller circuit 200 would require an input from the delay circuit 185 prior to activation other components of the motion controller 180 are motor reset circuit 205 that is able to reverse the drive motor 175 to complete a full cycle of motion an example of this motor reset circuit.
