Portable rotary target apparatus

A method of using a portable rotary target apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a portable rotary target apparatus, comprising:
• i. at least one projectile actuated rotary target mechanism, comprising:
• (a). a rotary plate having a front face, a rear face, an axis of rotation with an axis rod, a first aperture having a size and displaced from the axis, at least a second aperture having a different size and displaced from the first aperture, and a stop associated with each aperture and located on the rear face, and the rotary plate is able to rotate along its axis rod about an axis perpendicular to the frontal face;
• (b). a non-rotary, pressure-actuated plate, proximate to the rear face of the rotary plate, having a rear face and a frontal face with an edge configured to contact the stop associated with each aperture to stop further rotation of the rotary plate, and the pressure-actuated plate is made of a material configured to be resistant to penetration by impact of a projectile from a predetermined projectile device;
• and (c). a portable frame in communication with the axis rod, anchoring one end of a constant tension device that has its other end in communication with the axis rod, and anchoring one end of a contacting device configured to have its other end in contact with the rear face of the pressure-actuated plate to urge the front face of the pressure-actuated plate to contact the rear face of the rotary plate;
• and ii. a container encompassing the at least one projectile actuated rotary target mechanism and comprising a front surface offset from the rotary plate to permit collection of spent projectiles and having an aperture sized to be at least as large as the largest aperture on the rotary plate and positioned over the first aperture of the rotary plate and the pressure-actuated plate;
• b. providing a projectile device having at least one projectile suitable for use with the apparatus;
• c. applying tension to the constant tension device and placing the apparatus at a desired location, d. impacting the visible portion of the pressure-actuated plate with the projectile, e. observing the rotation of the rotating plate from showing the first aperture of the rotary plate to showing the next aperture.
