Moving/charging target

[Dublinpiper90]

I’ve done some research but can’t find any “decent” information on fabricating a moving target to replicate a charge of a animal, have herd some folks having them and some shooting schools havimg them, was wanting to make one for the house, any information would be helpful and much appreciated.

This RSA PH school has a video on a social media site where they have a charging cape buffalo.

I've seen a few target holders mounted on a yard cart and pulled along with a rope. The ground would have to be very smooth to give a decent target presentation.

If I personally designed one from scratch, a small yard cart with the pull handle removed, tires removed but steel wheels left to run on a narrow track, and a variable speed electric winch to pull it with.

Yes, I know it sounds podunk, but anything that is downrange is going to eventually get SHOT, so best to make it realistic, stout and cheap.

Put a target in an old tire. Roll the tire down an incline about 100 yards away and shoot it.... Very humbling in my experience

I've seen remote control cars used with something as simple as helium balloons attached.

This one was at the International Big Game Rifle shoot that was held in Darwin NT 2 years ago. It worked well.
