Abstract
A reversible archery target has a central divider panel of heavy utility grade polypropelyne which divides the interior of the target into two partitions, each filled with cotton material. The exterior covering of the target comprises two layers of light utility grade polypropelyne, and an outer layer of heavy burlap having various target shapes silkscreened on both exterior sides. The target has a dual purpose carrying strap which can also be used to hang the target in suspension. A spring steel stand supports the target on the ground while being unseen and undisturbed from the opposite side.
Claims21
An archery target comprising
- a first layer of burlap,
- a second layer of woven polypropelyne,
- a third layer of woven polypropelyne,
- a fourth layer of woven polypropelyne which is a centrally disposed divider,
- a fifth layer of woven polypropelyne,
- a sixth layer of woven polypropelyne,
- a seventh layer of burlap,
- said third and fifth layers forming adjacent compartments at each side of said fourth layer, and
- a mass of fibrous material disposed in said compartments between said third and fourth layer and said fourth and fifth layer,
- said layers being stitched together about the margins thereof.

A method of manufacturing an archery target comprising the steps of;
- providing an assembly jig having a generally round flat configuaration with a rectangular neck portion extending outwardly on one end and a plurality of thin rodlike pointed projections spaced about the periphery of the jig with the points facing upwardly to removably receive and maintain layers of material in a predetermined position on the jig,
- precutting a plurality of sheets of material to a size slightly larger than the periphery of the jig,
- precutting a sheet of material to a rectangular shape and installing grommets in two opposed corners thereof,
- placing a first sheet of material on said jig in the approximate center with the outer edges extending beyond the periphery of the jig and said neck portion and pressing it down on the projections,
- placing a second and third sheet of material on said jig in the approximate center overlaying said first sheet with the outer edges extending beyond the diametric periphery of the jig excluding said neck portion and pressing them down on the projections,
- placing a fourth sheet of material on said jig in the approximate center overlaying said third sheet with the outer edges extending beyond the diametric periphery of the jig excluding said neck portion and pressing it down on the projections,
- placing the rectangular sheet of material in a position diametrically opposed to the neck portion of said jig overlaying said second, third, and fourth sheets with the grommeted edge inward and the opposed edge extending beyond the periphery of the jig,
- placing a fifth sheet of material on said jig in the approximate center overlaying said fourth sheet and the inward edge of the rectangular sheet with the outer edges extending beyond the diametric periphery of the jig excluding said neck portion and pressing it down on the projections,
- placing a sixth and seventh sheet of material on said jig in the approximate center overlaying said fourth sheet with the outer edges extending beyond the diametric periphery of the jig excluding said neck portion and pressing them down on the projections,
- cutting the edges of the overlayed sheets extending beyond the periphery of said jig,
- sewing the overlayed sheets together just inside the outer periphery excluding said neck portion to form a generally bag-like enclosure with an open neck for receiving a filler material,
- removing the bag-like enclosure from the jig by lifting it from the projections and turning the bag-like enclosure inside out, and thereafter said first sheet becoming a central divider sheet extending partially outwardly from the open neck and dividing the bag-like enclosure into two compartments on each side thereof,
- stuffing a predetermined volume of filler material into each compartment of the bag-like enclosure,
- compressing the stuffed bag-like enclosure to a predetermined thickness and while under compression sewing the layers of material at the open neck together to securely close the opening and completely enclose the filler material within the bag-like enclosure.
