The present application relates to the technical field of targets, especially to an automatic rotating lifting target.
Currently, there are increasing numbers of entertainment devices on the market, including target shooting games which are popular among consumers. Existing target technologies usually need manual target flipping after being shot, or require setting up a rotating driving component to drive the target body to flip upright. However the shooting games usually have a large number of target bodies, so that the cost for manual flipping of these targets or setting of driving devices would cost too much.
Therefore, an automatic rotating lifting target is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

A periphery of the rotating frame has multiple mounting seats. The multiple target bodies are respectively installed rotating axles and can be easily mounted on corresponding mounting seats and flipped forward and backward. When the target body is shot, it flips and tilts backward around the rotating axle. And when the target body rotates to the bottom with the rotating frame, the tilted target body flips forward and stands upright under the action of gravity.
