I have a different solution to this which has worked for me. This is more of a design change... you cannot access the target from the captured gesture. So instead keep a reference to the object when the touch down happened and before the pan began.

@property (nonatomic, strong) UIButton *myTouchedButton; // reference to button

(void)init
{
    ...
    [card.button addTarget:self action:@selector(cardTouchDownInside:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
    ...
}

-(void)cardTouchDownInside:(id)sender
{
    NSLog(@"touch down on object");
    self.myTouchedButton = (UIButton*)sender;
}
