    I'm sure this is a total noob question, but can the coil in in-line drop targets bring the targets down or is can the coil only reset them? For example, if a ball was stuck behind the drop target in Metallica, can the game drop the targets to clear it out? I'm trying to picture it in my head, but drawing a blank.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    It can only reset them.
    You need another coil to move them down, which happens a lot in the past.

    Is there a in-line drop target bracket available for purchase that has two coils?

    Trying to think what No Fear has...since that is moved up/down a lot.

    Yeah, I know a game like TNA has direct control over each individual target. I don't have a need for individual target control, so I was hoping perhaps one coil could be used to drive all three drop targets together. I do have need for them to be set either up or down. Sounds like it will take a minimum of two or three coils, though looking at that it's clearly possible to drive a single target up or down with a single coil. I'm sure it's possible to drive three at the same time, but perhaps the part just doesn't exist.
