Patent ID: 8910943

Claim:
A shooting target comprising: a frame assembly, a first target component and a second target component connected to the frame assembly such that the first target component overlaps the second target component from a shooter's perspective and both the first and second target components can swing freely like a pendulum from a rest position to a raised position, wherein the first and second target components are arranged such that they will automatically move back to their respective rest positions from their respective raised position due to the force of gravity; and wherein the first and second target components are parts of a target area, the target area defining at least one desired bullet impact location that is shared by at least the first and second target components; wherein the first and second target components are arranged relative to each other such that at least the second target component swings independent of the first target component when impacted by a bullet such that the swinging motion of the second target component from the rest position to the raised position is viewable by the shooter and thereby provides immediate visual directional feedback to the shooter, the directional feedback including at least one of whether a bullet impact is above, below, to the left of, or to the right of the desired bullet impact location; wherein the immediate visual directional feedback includes information collected visually by looking only at the target itself and without also looking at a secondary bullet impact location indicator that is separate from the target; and wherein the first and second target components included a non flexible bullet resistant construction.
