  • Patent number: 6983938
    Abstract: An impact target having a frame that houses and supports knockdown targets with each knockdown target having its own reset target. Knockdown targets are positioned having the target rest on top of the frame. The knockdown target is protected inside of the frame. Once the knockdown target is hit a bullet it swings back and down in a vertical position inside of the frame. Reset targets are positioned horizontally with the target positioned in front of the frame; the reset target is positioned to slide through the face of the frame once a bullet hits it. The impact by the bullet on the reset target will then transfer its energy to its knockdown target returning it to its resting position on top of the frame. Therefore, a bullet has hit the reset target.
