An automatic shooting target system is provided with an automatic target resetting arrangement that returns all of a plurality of laterally spaced targets to an upright disposition. Each of the targets is carried by a set of separate target mounting arms that are mounted for independent rotation about a target mounting shaft. The target resetting mechanism is formed by target resetting levers that are locked to the target mounting shaft for rotation therewith. A reset biasing mechanism, which may be a wound band spring that urges a ratchet wheel in rotation, is coupled to urge the target mounting shaft in rotation in a direction that resets the targets concurrently by means of the target resetting levers. However, a rotation inhibiting device, such as a sear, obstructs rotation of the ratchet wheel, and therefore rotation of the target mounting shaft, in the reset direction. Control rods are operable by movement of at least one of the targets from the upright to the fallen position to temporarily disable the rotation inhibiting sear. This allows the band spring to rotate the target mounting shaft in the reset direction, whereby the target reset mechanism concurrently carries all of the targets from their fallen position to their upright positions.
