Filed:

Sep 29, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/280964

Inventors:

Andrew Fernandez - LA VERNE CA, US

International Classification:

F41J 1/10
F41J 7/04

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for presenting a target wherein a horizontal support member is supported above a surface and a target is supported from the horizontal member. From a starting position the target is allowed to deflect when struck by a projectile. By minimizing the forward looking profile of the horizontal support member, projectiles are less likely to strike it.

ANDREW FERNANDEZ - LA VERNE CA, US

International Classification:

F41J 1/10
F41J 7/00

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for supporting a post used to support a ballistic target. A post is supported in a vertical position by retention in a post stand. The post stand is assembled using a bottom plate, a top plate and two side plates. Once assembled, the post stand receives a post. Two types of posts are contemplated. One post type is made of wood. A second post type is made of steel and projects a low profile toward a shooter. A top hanger is then installed over the post and provides mounting holes so that a target can be suspended therefrom.

Inventors:

ANDREW FERNANDEZ - LA VERNE CA, US

International Classification:

F41J 1/10
F41J 7/04

Abstract:

A method and system for suspending a target above a surface that provides for supporting a support member above the surface. A hanger is used to suspend a target from the support member. When the target is hanging from the support member, it is induced into an angle so that its top portion is closer to a shooter. When the target is struck by an incoming projectile, it is allowed to pivot downward from its initial position and the target is also restrained from rotating about the axis of suspension.
