Shooter Powered Mover

One of the simplest moving targets is a furniture dolly pulled along the range with a rope. The shooter powered mover is of this type, where the dolly is pulled by the shooter's movement. A rope is attached to the shooter, runs through a couple pulleys and attaches to the target dolly. With proper arrangement of the pulleys the target can charge the shooter, retreat from the shooter and run lateral to the shooter.

I haven't made one of these movers yet, but it should take no more than an afternoon.

The MD of our local club made this shooter powered mover.
Here you can see the rope attached to the shooter and the mover in the distance.

The shooter is moving left and the mover is going right.

Our club took a typical "H" target stand and converted it to a shooter powered mover.

Two more 1" x 2" lath holders were welded to a standard "H" type target stand.

Most setups of the shooter powered mover require two pulleys like this.
