Abstract:
1. A portable military target system to withstand impact by military rounds fired by a military weapon, the system comprising: a base; a stationary member having a length and fixedly secured to the base and extending upwardly therefrom; a rotating member positioned over the stationary member and having a length that is less than the length of the stationary member; a bearing located between the stationary member and the rotating member to permit substantially free rotation of the rotating member relative to the stationary member; a plurality of target sides spaced apart around and fixedly secured to the rotating member in an outwardly extending orientation outwardly extending orientation so as to promote rotational movement of the rotating member when hit by a fired round; and a plurality of side shields, each one of the side shields being secured to adjacent ones of the target sides and provided by elongate rectangles of a length to substantially cover the rotating member without interfering with rotation thereof, and of a width to contact adjacent ones of the target sides close to the rotating member, but slightly spaced from the rotating member to substantially shield the rotating member from being hit by rounds.
