Automatically Resetting Target Device

Abstract

An automatically resetting target device includes a target arm having a target end, a pivot end and a length therebetween, a target support member for pivotally supporting the pivot end of the target arm, and an automatically resetting mechanism. The automatically resetting mechanism includes a center support member attached to the target support member and biasing member having a first end and a second end, the first end attached to a point along the length of the target arm and the second end attached to an attachment member spaced apart from the pivot end of the target arm, wherein the biasing member passes across the pivot end of the target arm and causes the target arm to move from a first ready position to a second ready position when an outside force from a projectile is applied to the target. The automatically resetting target device assists one or more targets into a desired location securely and allows one or more users, through the energy of a projectile, to shoot and reset a target without moving from a shooting position. The target device also provides a method for enhancing shooting skills while also allowing two users to compete with one another.
