Abstract: A taxidermy mold (10) is disclosed which includes an eye socket recess (13) into which an artificial eye (20) is inserted. Eye (20) is held in mold (10) while a hardenable liquid foam is poured into mold (10) to create a taxidermy form (30) having a molded eye therein. The eye (20) is held within the eye socket recess (13) during molding by means of an adhesive which separates from the eye (20) and remains in eye socket recess (13) when mold (10) is removed from the taxidermy form (30). It is therefore unnecessary to provide an additional step of cleaning the adhesive from the eye (20) after molding is completed.

Abstract: A taxidermy mold is disclosed which includes an eye socket recess (13) into which an artificial eye (20) is inserted and locked into position. Locking takes place by means of two diametrically opposed lugs (14) and (15) which mate with two diametrically opposed notches (26) and (27) in artificial eye (20). Alignment is maintained while a hardenable liquid foam is poured into the mold to create a taxidermy form (30) having molded eyes therein.

Abstract: An eye insert (15) is disclosed and claimed for a taxidermy form (10) having eye sockets (11). An eye insert (15) is positioned within each eye socket (11) and cooperates to automatically align eye insert (15) to an anatomically correct position and appearance. Eye insert (15) includes an artificial eyeball (16) and a base (20) into which eyeball (16) is adapted to be partitially set. Base (20) is configured to be positioned within eye socket (11) and fixed against substantial adjustment. Alignment means are carried by base (20) and eye socket (11) for positioning base (20) in a pre-determined alignment in eye socket (11) within a narrow range of adjustment.

Abstract: A three-dimensional archery target (10) is disclosed comprising first and second body segments (11 and 12) having a shape simulating the forward and rearward extremities, respectively, of an animal and a replacable target segment (15) having a shape corresponding to the central trunk of a corresponding animal for being matingly and detachably positioned between the first (11) and the second (12) body segments to collectively define the entire body portion of a corresponding animal. Target segment (15) is comprised of a lightweight, semi-rigid, tangle-free and non-healing material adapted for controlled disintegration from arrow impact. Male dovetails (16, 18) and female dovetails (20, 21) releasably retain the target segment (15) between the first and second body segments (11, 12) in resistance to force in one direction caused by the impact of arrows thereon and to force in the opposite direction caused by removal of the arrows.
