Abstract: An archery target includes a target body section having a target section aperture formed therein and a replaceable target section adapted to fit in the target section aperture. The replaceable target section is held in place in the target section aperture by one or more support rods extending through support rod apertures formed in the body section and the replaceable target section. The support rods may also extend into other target body sections, to hold the target body sections together to form a structurally stable archery target. A replaceable target insert may be positioned in a target insert aperture formed in the replaceable target section. The replaceable target insert may be held in place in the replaceable target section by a support rod extending therethrough.

Abstract: An artificial animal eye for use in taxidermy and including a nictitating membrane integrally formed thereon is provided. The artificial animal eye is formed on a transparent eyepiece blank, such as a clear glass eyepiece, having a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface. Animal eye coloration is applied to the concave inner surface of the eyepiece. The integrally formed nictitating membrane is formed as a dark coloration applied along a portion of the circumferential edge of the convex outer surface of the eyepiece. The nictitating membrane coloration may be formed using a leaded glass enamel glaze mixture which is applied to the outer surface of the eyepiece in the shape of the nictitating membrane. Firing the eyepiece causes the glaze to fuse with the eyepiece glass, integrally forming the nictitating membrane on the eyepiece.
