KING GONG Texas Star Elite — Rotating Drop Targets

The KING GONG Texas Star takes the classic Texas Star concept — a multi-arm star with a falling plate (target) on each arm — and modernises it for training and events. When a plate is hit, it tips and triggers the local fall which, in turn, causes the whole star to rotate: the rotation dynamic turns a standard shooting session into an evolving challenge where precision, speed and strategy matter.

To meet the practical needs of public services and mobile shooters, this model now includes a robust and easy-to-use rotation lock mechanism.

When locked, the star remains fixed — ideal for transport, assembly/disassembly and for starting sessions with stable targets. Once on the firing line, simply release the lock to restore the star’s natural rotation and the full Texas Star experience.

Compatibility: the KING GONG Texas Star is fully compatible with the rest of the KING GONG product range, making it easy to integrate into existing ranges, share spare parts and compose mixed kits for events or training.
