Patent number: 7322771Abstract: An improved joint utilizes a facing strip which is configured to extend away from a pair of plates held by the facing strip as one moves toward the middle of the facing strip. When the steel plates are disposed at an angle to one another, the facing strip is preferably straight. When the steel plates are parallel, the facing strip is preferably bent to extend toward the plates as one moves out from the middle of the facing strip and toward the lateral edges.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2006Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Action Target, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Marshall, Lane Jackson, Addison Sovine, Kyle Bateman

Patent number: 7219897Abstract: A bullet target configured to improve the skills of a shooter includes, in one embodiment, a head plate which is attached to an arm by a resilient or semi-resilient attachment member to allow the head plate to visually deflect when hit by a bullet and to substantially return to its original position. In another embodiment, the improved target utilizes an attachment mechanism which allows the head to rotate relative to the arm within a stop to minimize transfer of vibrations between the head plate and the arm. In a third embodiment, a plurality of head plates are used in alignment and selectively exposed to the shooter to improve decision making ability.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2006Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Action Target, Inc.Inventors: Addison Sovine, Kyle Burdette, Spencer Lambert
