Projectile target

Abstract

A projectile target (10) comprises a support structure (20) adapted to support two or more targets (30). The targets (30) are ideally off the ground (12), that is spaced from the ground (12). Each target (30) is, in turn, supported by an arm (32) extending from a common hinge (34). Each pair of targets (30) includes a first main target 30a and a second target (30b). In a first position 38a, the first target (30a) presents a first broad target surface (36a) to an operator or shooter (not shown). The second target (30b) is displaced so that it does not present a viable target to the operator. However, the second target (30b) is adapted to move into a second, viable, target position (38b) when the first target (30 )a is struck substantially on its broad target surface (36a) by a projectile, such as a.22 calibre bullet.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to projectile targets. More particularly, the present invention relates to a projectile target for the non-exclusive presentation of targets for shooting practice. Background technique [0002] The following references and descriptions of prior concepts or products are not intended, and should not be construed, as a statement or admission of common general knowledge in the art. In particular, it should not be assumed that the following discussion of the prior art pertains to what is commonly known or well known to those skilled in the art, but rather facilitates the inventor's inventive process and understanding of the present invention. [0003] Projectile targets have been described in which the target, once struck, is deflected to a position where it no longer presents the target. Other walker-type targets typically include four spaced targets in pairs of two targets, where impact on an upright target of a pair causes rotati...

Also, the walker target is essentially pushed further back, so the shot distance is variable
