Abstract
A target assembly having a fixed target mounted above a self-resetting, swingable target with both targets conforming to standard or regulation targets used in shooting competitions. The fixed target, which preferably includes a group of bulls-eye targets, is mounted between vertical posts on a cross member from which the swingable target is pivotally suspended. The swingable target is preferably a silhouette steel plate, and it is positioned on the cross member between pipe spacers which also serve to deflect bullets striking the silhouette target away from the bulls-eye target. The posts are founded on a base assembly and after disassembly may be nested and stored with the cross member in a base member.
Claims19
A target assembly comprising in combination;
- a base, a pair of posts mounted on the base in horizontally spaced relationship;
- a cross-member extending between and mounted to the posts, a fixed target removably mounted in fixed position above the cross-member a movable target located between said posts and suspended from the cross-member for rotation relative thereto, a pair of spacer sleeves mounted on said cross-member on opposite sides of the movable target for positioning the movable target along the cross-member, said sleeves also being constructed and dimensioned to deflect bullets striking the movable target away from the fixed target, and wherein said fixed target rests on said sleeves.
A portable target assembly comprising in combination a support structure, a group of fixed bulls-eye targets mounted on a backing member which is removably supported on said structure, a swingable self-resetting target pivotally suspended from said structure below said bulls-eye targets, and wherein said swingable target is removable from said structure and replaceable, and said structure includes several parts that may be assembled or disassembled by hand without the aid of tools, said support structure including means extending generally horizontally and wherein said backing member is removably supported on said means, said means includes a generally horizontally extending cross-member and said swingable target is pivotably suspended from said cross-member.
A portable target assembly comprising in combination a support structure including a pair of horizontally spaced posts having a pair of vertical channels, a cross member fixed to and extending between said posts, a plurality of spacer sleeves received about said cross-member, a swingable target pivotally suspended from the cross-member between said spacer sleeves, and a fixed target slidably received in said channels while resting on said spacer sleeves above said swingable target.
A target assembly comprising in combination;
- a base, a pair of posts mounted on the base in horizontally spaced relationship;
- a cross-member extending between and mounted to the posts, a fixed target removably mounted in fixed position above the cross-member, a movable target located between said posts and suspended from the cross member for rotation relative thereto, and wherein said movable target includes a hanger rotatably mounted on said cross member and a target plate fixed to the hanger such that it normally lies in a vertical plane to which it will automatically return by itself after being struck by a bullet, and wherein said target plate has at its bottom a stop engageable with the fixed target when struck by a bullet.
A target assembly comprising in combination a fixed target, a movable target located below the fixed target, and a support structure including means extending in a generally horizontal direction with the fixed target removably supported on said means, said means also serving to locate said movable target and further including means pivotally suspending said movable target.
A portable target assembly comprising in combination, a base, a pair of horizontally spaced posts removably supported on said base, a cross member extending between and removably supported by said posts above said base, a movable target movably mounted on said cross member, at least two spacer sleeves located about said cross member on opposite sides of said movable target, and wherein said posts have means for removably receiving a fixed target to be supported on said sleeves in fixed position.
