Abstract
A bullet target configured to improve the skills of a shooter includes, in one embodiment, a head plate which is attached to an arm by a resilient or semi-resilient attachment member to allow the head plate to visually deflect when hit by a bullet and to substantially return to its original position. In another embodiment, the improved target utilizes an attachment mechanism which allows the head to rotate relative to the arm within a stop to minimize transfer of vibrations between the head plate and the arm. In a third embodiment, a plurality of head plates are used in alignment and selectively exposed to the shooter to improve decision making ability.
Claims32
An improved bullet target comprising:
- a head plate configured to receive projectiles fired at the target;
- an arm configured to support the head plate;
- an attachment mechanism, the attachment mechanism comprising:
- a channel for receiving a lower portion of the head plate and configured for rotational movement of the lower portion of the head plate within the channel;
- a chest plate configured to prevent the head plate from being hit by projectiles when the head plate is behind the chest plate;
- and
- a riser configured to selectively raise and lower the head plate.
An improved target comprising:
- a first target having an arm and a head plate, the head plate having a first configuration;
- a second target having an arm and a head plate, the head plate having a second configuration different than the first configuration;
- and
- a chest plate configured to prevent projectiles from hitting the head plates when the head plates are behind the chest plate;
- and
- wherein the target is configured to selectively expose one of the first and second head plates or both of the first and second head plates from behind the chest plate.
An improved target comprising:
- a first target having an arm and a head plate;
- a second target having an arm and a head plate, the second plate being disposed in alignment along a line of fire behind the first target;
- a chest plate configured to prevent projectiles from hitting the first and second head plates when the first and second head plates are behind the chest plate;
- and
- a riser configured to selectively raise and lower the first and second head plates.
