Falling target

[AWLAZS]

I was watching one of those shooter shows on tv. They were testing WWII assault rifles out. They were shooting at a paper target that had a steel plate behind it. When the finally hit the plate it fell backward and the target fell forward. Does anyone know where I could get something like that? The guys at work would love it.

Be easy enough to setup, attach a cable to the steel plate and when it falls it pulls the paper target down. Take a little work, but doable.

The steel was located behind the target. The shooter could not see it. It was held up high in the upper a zone. The target fell when it was incapacitated.

Simple, make a target like the one in the rear of this video, except move the stake pockets in front of the steel plate and don't add the 2nd set of stake pockets.

Its probably one of these: LINK

Looking at it, I think the set-up will require some fine tuning to position the paper target correctly, and it probably needs a flat, level range.
