Benefits of technology
The present invention relates to a target suspension apparatus that allows for the orientation of a target at an inclined angle for easier identification and targeting. The apparatus includes a support arm, mounting pin, cam, and cam finger. The mounting pin is received in an aperture of the target and the cam is attached to the cam finger. The cam has multiple faces that urge the target against the support arm to align it at a desired angle. The apparatus also includes an aperture for easy attachment to a frame element and a mounting notch for secure attachment to a T-shaped post. The technical effects of the invention allow for easier identification and targeting of a target at an inclined angle.
Problems solved by technology
Existing target hangers do not secure the targets from falling off of the hangers when they are shot by a projectile from a firearm.
Likewise, hangers do not hang the targets downward in angled relation with the ground, which does not provide for lead deflection and a decrease in target life.
With conventional target hangers, the targets are not locked onto the hanging hooks and frequently fall off during use.
This thin material does not hold up well to bullet strikes.

Embodiment Construction
[0027]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention.
[0028]Broadly, embodiments of the present invention provide an improved target and suspension for improving target life and stability. Aspects of the present invention provide an attachment point behind the targets where the attachment point is protected from bullet strikes. In other aspects of the invention, the target suspension apparatus orients a suspended target at an angle such that a projectile striking the target is at least partially deflected towards the ground and so that the target does not absorb the full force of the projectile when hitting the target. The target suspension is also adapted to retain targets of varying thicknesses.
[0029]As seen in reference to the drawings of FIGS. 1-13, ...

An improved target and suspension for extending target life and stability. Aspects of the present invention provide an attachment point behind the target where the attachment point is protected from bullet strikes. In other aspects of the invention, the target suspension apparatus orients a suspended target at an angle such that a projectile striking the target is at least partially deflected towards the ground and so that the target does not absorb the full force of the projectile when hitting the target. The target suspension is also adapted to retain targets of varying thicknesses.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to targets, and more particularly to targets for firearms.[0002]Existing target hangers do not secure the targets from falling off of the hangers when they are shot by a projectile from a firearm. Likewise, hangers do not hang the targets downward in angled relation with the ground, which does not provide for lead deflection and a decrease in target life.[0003]With conventional target hangers, the targets are not locked onto the hanging hooks and frequently fall off during use. Their hook forward design mandates they are made from a thin material that must pass through the small target mounting holes. This thin material does not hold up well to bullet strikes.[0004]As can be seen, there is a need for an improved target and suspension for improving target life and stability.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]In one aspect of the present invention, a target suspension apparatus is disclosed. The target suspension apparatus incu...
