Our club looked into this a couple of years back.
We have 20 turning targets.
£15k was one figure that came up!
In the end we renovated what we already had and it now works vey well.
Its a compressor-air ram system powering some very old frames.
We hard wired the power and airline so it can be up and running with the flick of a switch.
I will try and remember who we had quotes from.
I think Militec were one.

Yes we may well do that and add a remote control rather than a wired one...

It ain't rocket science; any decent mecky type should be able to knock up a Battery/electrickery-Pneumatic set up!

I've got some arduino radio code you can have if you go Homebrew! It's not complete but it lets you send sequences to remote targets.

I've just been through this for the range I'm building, 18 turners was going to be somewhere in the region of 20k
We have refurbished our old ones for £500.
