  • Patent number: 5647596
    Abstract: The invention relates to a target system including a target deck, trigger board and target plate. Apertures are provided in both the target deck and trigger board. The target deck is configured to receive or be juxtaposed to the trigger board so that the apertures are generally aligned. The target plate is shaped to fit within the generally aligned apertures. When the target plate is displaced from the aperture of the trigger board, the target deck moves to signify that the target plate has been struck. Another embodiment contemplates mounting the target plate to the target deck. A resistance device may also be added to prevent non-predetermined projectiles from displacing the target plate from the apertures.
