Abstract: A target and system for marksmanship training includes a frame and a plurality of plates suspendable from the frame. Each plate is structured to correspond to a respective part of a body or to an accessory. Attachments are used to mount the plates to the frame at a predetermined forward tilting position to form the target, wherein a projectile strike on a selected plate is detectable through visual and auditory feedback comprising one or more of displacement of the plate from the forward tilting position to a rearward reactive position, removal of coating on the plate from a point of impact, and emission of audible feedback. A method for aiding in marksmanship training uses the target.

Abstract: A bracket for constructing a balustrade includes a receiving member configured to receive and secure a post therein; and a pivoting member pivotally mounted to the receiving member and configured to be attached to a top plate of a wall to orient the post within the top plate at a desired position, angle, or both. A method of stabilizing a balustrade involves use of the bracket.
