Personal, portable, turning target

I found SmDial’s target system he’s posted on the forum to be quite intriguing. I haven’t been able to find many (read: any) bullseye matches around where I live. I wanted a target that I could transport by myself, setup anywhere and used batteries that I already have and are easy to change and charge. Milwaukee M18 batteries were my poison. I contacted Dial and he put together a control board after I explained my plans a bit. I already had the steel and aluminum from my own stocks so the whole build cost me around $250. If I build it again, I’d change a bit around, I’d like the target to face a bit faster. But my original goal was to have it man portable, rigid, repeatable, easy to use and because I’m all out of spares in the limb/finger dept. I really liked the idea that it runs off of the “Bullseye Match” application on my iPad. So I can run it by myself from my iPad. Thus far it checks all these boxes. I still need to machine a few things once I get some lathe/mill time, and I may change from a direct drive to a chain drive,  but here’s the target so far.  Thank you VERY much to Smdial and Mr. Talpey, the bullseye match app developer. Both have been indispensable in helping me get my target built and functioning.
