Haha Tim, surely you are not all that unfit that there aren't a couple of people to raise and lower the electronic targets at the start and finish.

Cheers

We have ETs on cantalever frames and it is more than a PITA to set up and put away in fact we are seriously looking at a trolley system because of the weight and size on windy days.
ETs dont need pit depth or mantlet height of marker operated targets this also means the butt height may be lower. I can see new specs and less cost.
Air operated rams are possible with pressure regulators and filters. The hoses to use are brake line ones. In fact use truck systems with a normal 240 volt or petrol engine compressor. Use plenty of storage in fact double what is considered enough, old 9kg LPG bottles along the range are good just takes awhile to pressure up may need one per frame . Go and look at a pistol club with air operated turning targets. Would suggest to stay away from sealed bearings and use bushings been there done that.
