An automatic resetting target is disclosed. A box-like housing containing a target holder including a positioning arm which protrudes through the housing lid. A rotating plate with tripping means is linked to a motor. A normally open switch connects the motor and a power source. When the impact of a projectile against a target causes the holder to nutate from an upward to a downward position, the switch is closed causing the tripping means of the rotating plate to engage the target holder\s arm returning the holder to an upward position and breaking the circuit.

An automatic resetting target device to be used with aerial projectiles comprising: (a) a generally parallelepipedal housing having two side walls, a back wall, a lid, a front wall, and a bottom, said lid including an aperture; (b) a nutating target holder including a positioning arm mounted within said housing, said holder protruding through said aperture when said lid is closed; (c) a rotating plate with tripping means in aligned position to engage said positioning arm during said plate\s rotation; (d) a motor linked to said rotating plate and operatively connected to a power source by wiring means; and, (e) a normally open switch which is closed and activated only when said target holder is in its downward position; whereby, when the impact of a projectile against a target causes said target holder to nutate from its upward to a downward position, said normally open switch is closed and said motor gyrates said rotary plate so that said tripping means engages said positioning arm causing said target to again be upright and said normally open switch to break the circuit.
