Abstract

An automatic target holder is provided for positioning targets for projectiles at a location remote from a shooter. The target holder includes a housing having a relatively low silhouette and a target support removably mounted upon the housing for positioning a target in a substantially planar firing position normal to a path of a projectile fired by the shooter. A target drive mechanism is located within the housing and is remotely operable by the shooter to advance a target roll to move a new target into the firing position. The target support structure and the housing is oriented outboard of the target in the firing position providing an unobstructed path for the projectile as it passes through the target. The preferred embodiment is provided with a target illumination panel positioned behind the target and shiftable between an inactive position out of the projectile path and an active position behind the target in order to increase the visibility of the projectile holes formed in the target.
