Abstract
A self-healing reactive target includes a target apparatus and a target holder. The target apparatus is a solid one-piece target apparatus made from a self-healing material. The target holder is configured to hold the one-piece target apparatus. The target holder is made from a tear resistant material. Wherein, the solid one-piece target is configured to move about the target holder for providing reactive feedback when shot. Wherein the solid one-piece target apparatus is configured to spin within the target holder for providing instant feedback when shot.
Claims17
A self-healing reactive target comprising:
- a solid one-piece target apparatus made from a self-healing material, and
- a target holder configured to hold the one-piece target apparatus, the target holder is made from a tear resistant material, the tear resistant material of the target holder includes a base foam with a higher density foam laminated to one side, wherein the target holder including
- a base rectangular shape with an hourglass shaped cutout centered therein;
- a left hinging member with a left pivot hole therethrough, the left hinging member is created from a left convex portion created by a left hourglass side of the hourglass cutout, where just the base foam and not the higher density foam laminated to one side is cut to create the left hinging member that hinges via an uncut left section of the higher density foam;
- and
- a right hinging member with a right pivot hole therethrough, the right hinging member is created from a right convex portion created by a right hourglass side of the hourglass cutout, where just the base foam and not the higher density foam laminated to one side is cut to create the right hinging member that hinges via an uncut right section of the higher density foam;
- wherein, the solid one-piece target apparatus is configured to move about the target holder for providing reactive feedback when shot.
