I am looking for ideas to make an advancing target, the idea will be used for a match and the context will be a charging bear.

What’s the budget?  MGM has a good track mount unit. Spendy and finicky but very cool when you set it up properly.

We have done one on a pulley rolling down a rope. Trigger was a steel popper.  Crude,cheap and effective.

I don’t have a set number for a budget, just looking to see what’s out there and if there is something like your later description that I could set up or if it needs to be a commercial solution. I also thought about one of the bigger RC cars with a PVC pipe holder on top for a paper target.

Keep on mind if you flip for the MGM setup, the bay spot where it will sit needs to be parking lot flat.  No uneven ground or you will have issues.   We hardly use ours due to setup time.

Never tried an RC car but I could see it getting shot pretty quick unless you guys are all very good shots.
