Abstract:
1. A portable archery target support comprising: a T-shaped support block formed of a tough, resilient polymer material, said support block having three cylindrical holes formed near each terminal end of its shape, axes of said cylindrical holes approaching one another above a plane of the support block and diverging from one another below the plane of the support block; split flange slots to connect a cylindrical hole with an exterior edge of the support block, said slots substantially perpendicular to the plane of the support block; pinch bolts at each slot to compress the slot and constrict a corresponding cylindrical hole; three cylindrical support legs to pass through the three cylindrical holes, said support legs sized so that they cannot pass easily through the cylindrical hole when the corresponding split flange is tightened; a target support loosely connected to the support block between the cylindrical holes, said target support for suspending an archery target between the cylindrical support legs below the plane of the support block; and stabilizing shock cords to connect two bottom corners of the archery target to lower ends of two cylindrical support legs, said shock cords to deter the archery target from swinging and rotating excessively after an arrow strikes the target.
