Looks good, versatile.

Would be interested in seeing the code.

Hi,

A bit of an update on this again today.

We have finally finished the front stop and back stop pellet protectors and catchers for the turning target system.

So today we got the change to actually shoot at it for the first time.

First impressions are that it works exactly as intended. We had a whole afternoon of shooting at it, with over 500 shots. I knocked one of the target holder arms off the top of the servo when I hit the wire. It popped off the servo splines as intended and no damage was done to the servo gears. So it looks like it should be durable enough. The batteries lasted the whole afternoon as well.
