Claim 19:
20. 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 first and second turning bodies configured to turn intermittently while the output shaft rotates in the first direction of rotation;
wherein the first and second turning bodies are configured to turn conjointly and in inverse turning directions with respect to each other;
wherein the first and second turning bodies have gear teeth, the gear teeth of the first turning body being meshed with the gear teeth of the second turning body.
