Claim 20:
21. A target turner comprising:
a target support including a target holder configured to hold a target;
a base configured to engage a support surface and to support the target with respect to the support surface, the target support being rotatable with respect to the base about a target turning axis; and
a turning assembly supported by the base and operatively connectable to the target support for turning the target support about the target turning axis, the turning assembly including a motor and a drive train, the motor including an output shaft operatively connected to the drive train, the motor configured to rotate the output shaft in a first direction of rotation, the drive train configured to, in response to rotation of the output shaft in the first direction of rotation, turn the target support in a first turning direction about the target turning axis from a non-shooting orientation to a shooting orientation and to, in response to further rotation of the output shaft in the first direction of rotation, turn the target support in a second turning direction opposite the first turning direction about the target turning axis from the shooting orientation to the non-shooting orientation;
wherein the drive train includes a turning mechanism;
wherein the turning mechanism includes first and second turning bodies and a crank, the crank being configured to rotate about a crank axis to drive turning of the first and second turning bodies, the first and second turning bodies being mounted for turning about respective first and second turning axes, the first and second turning axes located on opposite sides of the crank axis.
