A Drop Target is a flat mechanical target that is held up on a small ledge and when hit with a ball, is moved backwards and dropped down via a small spring. There are generally switches for both the ''Up'' and ''Down'' positions but just a single ''Down'' switch will work. They can be arranged as single targets or in rows.

	Every manufacturer has their own designs and use a variety of switch types to detect the target position - ''Williams'' used optos while modern ''Stern'' games use microswitches.

For a drop target bank, only a minor check is needed after every drop target it.

'''Idea'''

Give a reward for hitting the drop targets in order. Example: ''Centaur''.

Give a reward for completing multiple sets of drop target banks.

'''Hardware'''

1 switch for each of the targets

1 coil to reset the targets

(optional) 1 light for each target in the bank
