Abstract
A target stand for various archery and shooting targets, and more specifically to an adjustable angle three-dimensional target stand. An upright member assembly for mounting an archery target. The upright member includes a peg connected to a peg base. The peg base has an upper aperture and a pivot aperture. The peg based attached to at least one dial plate by a pivot bolt inserted through the pivot aperture. The peg base may be pivoted about the pivot bolt to adjust an angular position of the peg. Fore and rear legs of a target body resembling a game animal are mounted on a pair of upright members that are connected to an adjustment arm for setting the separation of the upright arms to correspond with the target body fore and rear legs.

A target stand apparatus for archery, comprising:
- a pair of upright members disposed at opposing ends of an H-shaped platform;
- each upright member comprising a peg connected to a peg base;
- each peg base comprising an upper aperture and a pivot aperture;
- each peg base attached to at least one dial plate by a pivot bolt inserted through the pivot aperture;
- each peg base pivotable about the pivot bolt to adjust an angle of the peg relative to the platform;
- each dial plate including at least two apertures adjacent a peripheral edge of the dial plate and arranged for receiving a locking pin;
