1. A target assembly, designed for sport shooting and training, comprising a target plate having a face portion and a magnetizable portion, pivotally connected to a target platform having a base comprising a base plate, an electromagnet and at least one first sensor capable of registering a hit by a projectile, the electromagnet and first sensor operatively connected to a microcontroller, a transceiver and a local power source, wherein, when the electromagnet has power and the face portion of the target plate is hit by a projectile, the target plate pivots until it is stopped and retained by the electromagnet, and also wherein, when the target plate is hit by a projectile, the registered hit is communicated by the microcontroller and the transceiver to a main controller, whereby the main controller may send an instruction to the local power source to cut power to the electromagnet and release the magnetizable portion of the target plate.
