1. A method of operating a target actuator comprising:

  • selecting a target actuator configured for attachment to a target and having a first piston assembly and a second piston assembly, each of the first piston assembly and second piston assembly being actuatable so as to move a structure in the respective piston assembly between a first position and a second piston position;

    attaching a target to the actuator;

    selectively actuating one of the first and second piston assemblies to move the respective structure of that piston assembly from the first position to the second position to thereby rotate the target between a first target position and a second target position without moving the structure of the other piston assembly from the first position;

    selectively actuating one of the first and second piston assemblies to thereby rotate the target between the first target position and a third target position.
