After the drop target bank resets, the fourth target falls back down on its own.
One drop target drops by itself right after the bank resets: fit longer return springs
Cause: The target's return spring was too short to hold it up against the reset bump.
Checks
- Compare the springs on each target in the bank; a shorter or stretched one stands out.
- Check the target moves freely and the reset bar isn't bent.
Fix
- Replace the return springs with the correct, longer ones so each target is held up firmly.
