Abstract:
A shooting target for use with high-power firearms comprising one or more movable targets moveably connected to an upstanding post. The post includes an elongate target guide structure defined by hollow cylinder with a guide slot in the cylinder wall. The target has a pivot section with a target arm extending generally perpendicularly therefrom and a distally disposed target face connected to the arm. The cylinder is sized to receive the pivot section therein so that the target arm extends outwardly though the guide slot, the guide slot configured to simultaneously direct movement of the target from one side of the guide to the other and downwardly as the target rotated in the guide structure following impact by a bullet. The target arm is configured to position the target adjacent to the upstanding post where it is visible to the shooter. The upstanding post is provided with a V-shaped impingement structure disposed facing the shooter and between the target support structure and the shooter. The upstanding post is also preferably angled toward the shooter to direct bullets downwardly upon impact with the target.

Claim (Index 11):
A shooting target system comprising:\n a target assembly having a target face connected by a support arm to a pivot portion; a generally upstanding target guide structure having spaced apart upper and lower ends, and a hollow interior portion surrounded by a wall, the interior portion configured to receive the pivot portion in a manner enabling rotational and axial motion of the target assembly; and a guide track opening in the wall spanning the entire length of the guide structure, the guide track configured to receive the target assembly in a top opening in the guide slot adjacent to the upper end such that the pivot portion is at least partially disposed in the hollow interior portion and the support arm extends outwardly through the guide track opening, the guide track having a plurality of stops and landings arranged to maintain the target assembly in one of a plurality of fixed firing positions, the guide track guiding the target assembly downwardly responsive to the target face being struck by a projectile along a succession of firing positions, each successive firing position locating the target face on the opposite side of the guide structure and downwardly displaced from the preceding firing position, movement of the target assembly occurring as the pivot portion rotates in the guide structure interior portion and interaction between the support arm and the guide structure urges the target assembly downwardly as it rotates.
