    Sorry, can't resist

    Upwards? Joking aside many US police shows seem to have hanging targets powered by a hand wheel, possibly geared for extra speed, but I've no idea where to get one, but should be relatively easy to make.

    Contact Barrie at Dorset rifle and pistol association, we have that fitted at Parkstone gun club, home made but been working for 20 years! I'm sure he's got the parts list and the how to guide too!

    When I had a tour of Air Arms they were making them there for a customer. Air Arms is an Engineering Company, NSP Engineering, who happen to make guns under the Air Ams brand. They are still an engineering company

    Not an overhead system but the cheapest available (that I can find). I'm sure that you could adapt the ideas used in this system to make your own fairly cheaply, even as an overhead rather than table level system. One thing I will say having used and seen a fair variety of manual and electric target changers over the years I have been shooting is that you need your target carrier to locate firmly with a supportive stop at the range you require to shoot, shooting a target that is not properly engaged with a stop means the target carrier moves every time you shoot and will also wave about in the slightest breeze so devising a multi-range system to use from one shooting position will be somewhat more complex than simply winding the target to 10m or 25m for example. If you have shooting at different ranges from the same bench possibly consider 2 changers for each lane.

    Can i suggest you try a company that supplies the police or military?it is the type of equipment that they would use on indoor training ranges.
    So a supplier of defense equipment?
    Would the NSRA shop be able to point you toward someone?
    Would Gehman make such a thing?

    As gwyn suggests, a Defence supplier would likely suit (though the price might not!).

    Or ask these guys up in Barnsley where they got theirs.

    I would contact some indoor ranges in the USA as they all seem to have what you are looking for so they must make them there. I am sure they would not mind pointing you ion the right direction.
