Claim:
1. A portable rotary target apparatus, comprising: at least one projectile actuated rotary target mechanism, comprising: 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; 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 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; wherein, when the constant tension device is under tension and the pressure-actuated plate is pushed away from the rotary plate by an impact of a projectile, the rotary plate is able to rotate to the next stop and the aperture associated with that stop is now over the pressure-actuated plate.
