Thus, when the shooter moves, the target moves at the same speed. There is no special track required, the mover rolls along the bay floor pulled by a rope. The target is light weight with big wheels and pulls easily so it does not interfere with the shooter. The target stand on the mover can be turned to face any direction, so the target can move one direction and face another.

Depending on the positioning and number of pulleys the target can charge the shooter, retreat, move left to right, or right to left. The shooter decides how fast to move and therefore how fast the target moves. This is a particularly wonderful feature because the shooter decides how much risk/reward to take in a particular stage. The result is that the target can always move just the right speed for any shooter skill level.
