Abstract: An archery target wherein a thermoplastic plastic film web is randomly gathered transversely and wound spirally into a disc-like formation with successive convolutions in engagement and combining to define interstitial openings or air pockets. The spiral convolutions may be kept from unwinding in a number of different ways including heat sealing of adjacent convolutions, covering the faces of the disc with an adhesively or heat sealingly secured cover sheet extending in gathered relation through the center of the disc and splayed outwardly onto the opposite faces, or backing one disc with another having oppositely wound convolutions and securing the abutting edges of the convolutions to each other or an intermediate sheet.

Abstract: Hunting rifles must be sighted-in for accuracy at long range and such a procedure is complicated by the scarcity of long range firing ranges. The invention simplifies the sighting-in procedure on short rifle ranges and provides for the sighting-in of rifles equipped with telescopic sights. This is accomplished by the use of a sighting-in target having a cross comprised of equal length horizontal and vertical lines intersecting at their mid-points. The lines are provided at the ends thereof with markings in the form of solid-colored circles circumscribed by concentric rings.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and equipment for manufacture of target boards for darts or archery, and more particularly a method and equipment with which a target board for darts or archery is made from a tightly pressed circular board. The board is made by joining two semi-circular hemp boards of equal thickness, tightly pressed, with a joining device. The semi-circular hemp boards are obtaind by cutting a tightly pressed, semi-cylindrical hemp bundle into plurality of semi-circular disc like boards of equal thickness. The tightly pressed, semi-cylindrical hemp bundle is formed from a large bunch of suitable hemp fibers with a forming press device directly.

Abstract: A target made of interchangeable sections each comprising a multiplicity of membranes or plies of penetrable, elastomeric or resistant, tear resistant sheet resin material, the membranes being separated by intervening layers of porous or low density, resilient material such as foam resin material. Membranes are disclosed having opposite surfaces with different coefficients of friction.

Abstract: A target is shaped in the form of an animate object, preferably, simulating an animal. The target is formed from any suitable material which can receive a projectile impacting thereagainst. The target is provided with a torso opening in which is emplaced a graphic representation of the internal organs of the animal so simulated. The present target is particularly adapted for use in archery.

Abstract: An archery target toward which arrows from a bow may be aimed; the target including a circular outer ring having a circular central opening, within which an inner ring may be fitted, the outer ring having hooks on its rear side for hooking around a string or wire wrapped around a bale of hay, and the inner ring having pins on its rear side for sticking into the bale of hay.
