Abstract
A reactive target for firearms is disclosed. The target may include a center, four legs, and four heads. Each of the four legs may comprise an exterior end and radially extending from proximate the center to the exterior end. Each of the four heads may connect to the exterior end of a different leg of the four legs. Each of the four heads may also provide at least one target surface withstanding, without degradation, multiple impacts from firearm-fired projectiles. When an appropriate head is hit by a projectile, the target may roll a discrete, incremental distance on a supporting surface.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying, by a user, a target resting on a supporting surface, the target comprising
- a body comprising an interior and a plurality of legs extending away from the interior, the plurality of legs comprising a first leg, second leg, third leg, and fourth leg, the second, third, and fourth legs supporting the first leg in a substantially vertical orientation, and
- a plurality of heads comprising a first head, second head, third head, and fourth head respectively spaced from the interior by the first, second, third, and fourth legs;
- identifying, by the user, the first head as occupying a post of most elevated head of the plurality of heads;
- impacting, by a projectile projected by the user, the first head;
- moving, on the supporting surface in direct response to the impacting, the target away from the user;
- and
- hoisting, by the target during the moving, the second head to the post.
A method comprising:
- identifying, by a user, a target resting on a supporting surface, the target defining an interior region and an exterior region surrounding the interior region, the target comprising
- first, second, third, and fourth legs contained within the interior region,
- the second, third, and fourth legs supporting the first leg in a substantially vertical orientation, and
- first, second, third, and fourth heads respectively supported in the exterior region by the first, second, third, and fourth legs;
- occupying, by the first head, a post of most elevated head on the target;
- impacting, by a projectile projected by the user, the first head;
- moving, on the supporting surface in direct response to the impacting, the target away from the user;
- and
- hoisting, by the target during the moving, the second head to the post.
A method comprising:
- identifying, by a user, a target resting on a supporting surface, the target comprising
- first, second, third, and fourth legs, and
- first, second, third, and fourth heads supported on respective distal ends of the first, second, third, and fourth legs;
- supporting, by the second, third, and fourth legs, the first leg in an orientation substantially normal to the supporting surface;
- occupying, by the first head during the supporting, a post of most elevated head on the target;
- projecting, by the user during the occupying, a projectile at the first head;
- impacting, by a projectile, the first head;
- moving, on the supporting surface in direct response to the impacting, the target away from the user;
- and
- hoisting, by the target during the moving, the second head to the post.
