  • Patent number: 11566868
    Abstract: A firearm storage system is provided. It can include an enclosure device adapted for having a firearm mounting device mounted to a support member, such as a generally vertically disposed panel or wall. The mounting device includes a notch forming member forming a series of notches and loops in an alternating pattern, such that a long firearm can be stored next to a short firearm, utilizing space between adjacent long firearms for the storage of the short firearm. The barrels of the firearms are generally vertically disposed during storage and can be angled to apply a force on the firearms, and, in particular, on the long firearm to help retain the firearms in their respective portions of the mounting device.

  • Patent number: 11454478
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved target system for use by target shooters. The target system includes any target that is solid enough to transfer a portion of the impact to the frame supporting the target. An impact sensor that is independent from the target is attached to the frame supporting the target. When the target is hit by a bullet, the impact causes the impact sensor to light an indicator light to indicate that the target was hit. In some embodiments, the indicator light is housed in a housing that includes an adjustable lens to focus the light and concentrate its direction toward the shooter. In other embodiments, a remote indicator light is utilized and the impact sensor sends a radio signal to the indicator light to cause it light up when the target is impacted.
