We have pneumatic resettable targets at Ben Avery in Phoenix. These are on our Pistol Silhouette range so we have both 1/2 size and full size animals. They only go out to 200 meters but to go 500 would only require an additional 300 meters of pipe. There is a main line with a line diverted to each of the sets of animals. At each animal grouping there is a junction box with filters and shutoff valves for repair work. Each set of animals has multiple pistons that drive bars to set the animals. Each individual animal is adjustable for angle to set the amount of force required to knock it down. It is all run by an air compressor and there are switches to reset each type of animal.

The system is much to complicated to describe in full detail here. Also this system was built a number of years ago and in a cost saving move the lines were built using PVC pipe that was never intended for high pressure. It's all buried underground and does require periodic maintenance/repair. The only way to start a new system is to use galvanized pipe.

No matter how you do it it's going to be a major undertaking/expense. You're obviously welcome to look at what we've got.

Thanks. I'm thinking this may end up being more trouble and expensive than it's worth.

I need toget out to Arizona to a match! You guys obviously have Louisiana beat when it comes to gun clubs!
