The present invention relates to targets used for target practice. More specifically, the present invention relates to a target which can withstand high caliber rounds and which may be portable.
In order to maintain proficiency in the use of firearms, it is common for law enforcement officers, members of the military and sportsmen to engage in target practice. While many perceive target practice as simply a method for improving accuracy, it is important for law enforcement officers, members of the military and the like to conduct target practice in scenarios which improve timing and the ability to make split-second decisions on whether or not to fire. Such split-second decisions can mean the difference between life and death both for the officer or soldier and those around them. For example, a police officer who fires too quickly may shoot an unarmed person. If he or she delays too long, however, a perpetrator may shoot a bystander.
In the military context a sniper must often make a split second decision on whether to fire at a target. The person could be an enemy combatant holding a rocket-propelled grenade or simply a person carrying a pipe. To simulate different scenarios, it is often desirable to move one or more targets around. For example, target one may be an enemy combatant, and targets two and three are innocent civilians. Training is often improved by subjecting the shooter numerous different scenarios to prevent expectancy of the proper response.
While there are a wide variety of targets which are useful with smaller caliber rounds, such as a 0.223 or similar round, there are a more limited number of targets which are useful with high caliber rounds when a much larger projectile is fired into the target. For example, some machine guns and many sniper rifles fire a .50 BMG round (12.7×99 mm NATO), in which the weight of the projectile is typically about 620-710 grains (40-46 grams). Thus, the weight of the projectile used in these high caliber rounds can easily be 10 times that of the common infantry rifle.
Stopping a .50 BMG round presents a challenge at shooting ranges, especially where the targets are desired to be mobile. Most targets which will handle more common rounds, such as 30-06 and below, can be damaged by higher caliber rounds such as the .50 BMG. Thus, either the target is damaged by the impact of the projectile, or the target is so large and bulky as to be difficult to move.
While attempts at portable targets that will withstand .50 BMG rounds have been made, some are prone to falling over when impacted by the projectile. Others leave exposed hardware or joints or edges which can create a ricochet risk which is of particular concern with such a high powered round.
Thus there is a need for an improved target which can be used with high caliber rounds with little or no damage, provides little risk of ricochet, and remains transportable about a shooting range, etc.
Embodiments of an improved target and associated methods are disclosed below. According to some configurations, the target system includes a target plate having a mounting bracket system attached thereto, and a stand which engages the mounting bracket to hold the target plate in position during use.
In accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, the mounting bracket system attached to the target plate may be provided with a first mount in the form of a mounting bracket and a second mount in the form of a second mounting bracket. While both the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket may engage the stand, the second mounting bracket engages the stand in such a manner that the mounting bracket may slide forwardly and rearwardly with respect to the stand. Thus, when the target plate is impacted by a high caliber projectile, the target plate can pivot with respect to the stand so that a portion of the kinetic energy of the projectile is consumed in pivoting the target plate upon impact.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the target stand engages the mounting brackets at at least two spaced apart locations. The spaced apart engagement helps to prevent the target plate from being turned sideways when impacted by the projectile.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the mounting brackets attached to the target plate are configured to slide onto and off of the stand without the need for any tools to thereby allow for tool-less mounting and removal of the target plate on the stand. This, in turn, facilitates the target being disassembled, moved and reassembled without the need for tools.
It will be appreciated that the present invention provides various aspects and different embodiments provide different advantages. Thus, it will be appreciated that each embodiment need not provide all aspects or advantages of the present invention while still falling within the general scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Various embodiments and features of target systems are shown and described in reference to the following numbered drawings:
It will be appreciated that the drawings are illustrative and not limiting of the scope of the invention which is defined by the appended claims. The embodiments shown accomplish various aspects of the invention. It is appreciated that it is not possible to clearly show each element and aspect of an invention in a single figure, and as such, multiple figures are presented to separately illustrate the various details of embodiments of target systems in greater clarity. Several aspects from different figures may be used in accordance with target systems in a single structure. Similarly, not every embodiment need accomplish all advantages of various embodiments of target systems.
The invention and accompanying drawings will now be discussed in reference to the numerals provided therein so as to enable one skilled in the art to practice the present invention. The skilled artisan will understand, however, that the apparatuses, systems and methods described below can be practiced without employing these specific details, or that they can be used for purposes other than those described herein. Indeed, they can be modified and can be used in conjunction with products and techniques known to those of skill in the art in light of the present disclosure. The drawings and descriptions are intended to be exemplary of various aspects of the invention and are not intended to narrow the scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, it will be appreciated that the drawings may show aspects of the invention in isolation and the elements in one figure may be used in conjunction with elements shown in other figures.
Reference in the specification to “one configuration” “one embodiment,” “a configuration” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the configuration is included in at least one configuration, but is not a requirement that such feature, structure or characteristic be present in any particular configuration unless expressly set forth in the claims as being present. The appearances of the phrase “in one configuration” in various places may not necessarily limit the inclusion of a particular element of the invention to a single configuration, rather the element may be included in other or all configurations discussed herein.
Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics of configurations of the invention may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more configurations. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided, such as examples of products or manufacturing techniques that may be used, to provide a thorough understanding of configurations of the invention. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that configurations of the invention may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, and so forth. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the invention.
Before the present invention is disclosed and described in detail, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to any particular structures, process steps, or materials discussed or disclosed herein, but is extended to include equivalents thereof as would be recognized by those of ordinarily skill in the relevant art. More specifically, the invention is defined by the terms set forth in the claims. It should also be understood that terminology contained herein is used for the purpose of describing particular aspects of the invention only and is not intended to limit the invention to the aspects or configurations shown unless expressly indicated as such. Likewise, the discussion of any particular aspect of the invention is not to be understood as a requirement that such aspect is required to be present apart from an express inclusion of the aspect in the claims.
It should also be noted that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, singular forms such as “a,” “an,” and “the” may include the plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a channel” may include one or more of such channels, and reference to “the backing” may include reference to one or more of such backings.
As used herein, the term “substantially” refers to the complete or nearly complete extent or degree of an action, characteristic, property, state, structure, item, or result to function as indicated. For example, an object, such as tubing, that is “substantially” enclosed would mean that the object is either completely enclosed or nearly completely enclosed. The exact allowable degree of deviation from absolute completeness may in some cases depend on the specific context, such that enclosing nearly all of the length of a piece of tubing would be substantially enclosed, even if the distal end of the structure enclosing the tubing had a slit or channel formed along a portion thereof. The use of “substantially” is equally applicable when used in a negative connotation to refer to the complete or near complete lack of an action, characteristic, property, state, structure, item, or result. For example, structure which is “substantially free of” a bottom would either completely lack a bottom or so nearly completely lack a bottom that the effect would be effectively the same as if it lacked a bottom.
As used herein, the term “about” is used to provide flexibility to a numerical range endpoint by providing that a given value may be “a little above” or “a little below” the endpoint while still accomplishing the function associated with the range.
As used herein, a plurality of items, structural elements, compositional elements, and/or materials may be presented in a common list for convenience. However, these lists should be construed as though each member of the list is individually identified as a separate and unique member.
Concentrations, amounts, proportions and other numerical data may be expressed or presented herein in a range format. It is to be understood that such a range format is used merely for convenience and brevity and thus should be interpreted flexibly to include not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also to include all the individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly recited. As an illustration, a numerical range of “about 1 to about 5” should be interpreted to include not only the explicitly recited values of about 1 to about 5, but also include individual values and sub-ranges within the indicated range. Thus, included in this numerical range are individual values such as 2, 3, and 4 and sub-ranges such as from 1-3, from 2-4, and from 3-5, etc., as well as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, individually. This same principle applies to ranges reciting only one numerical value as a minimum or a maximum. Furthermore, such an interpretation should apply regardless of the breadth of the range or the characteristics being described.

The target plate 14 may be of any desired shape. For example, in
The stand 18 is designed to hold the target plate 14 at a desired height. Additionally the target stand 18 includes two supports 22, the supports comprising mounting arms or mounting structures 34, which engage the target plate 14 to help minimize torsional movement when the impact of a projectile occurs to either side of the center of the plate. In some configurations, the target stand 18 may include one support 22 or mounting structure. The target stand 18 also includes a number of feet 26 which extend outwardly from the supports 22 to provide support and prevent the target plate 14 and target stand 18 from tipping over.

Mounting brackets 30 are attached to the back of the target plate 14 and receive one or more mounting arms or other mounting structures 34 of the stand 18. The mounting arms or mounting structures 34 may be attached to the upper end of the supports 22 of the stand 18, or the mounting structures 34 may be formed integrally to the supports 22. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the mounting brackets 30 engage the mounting structures 34 in a manner that the mounting brackets 30 can be placed on and removed from the mounting structures 34 without the use of tools. This may be desirable when one desires to move the high caliber portable target 10 from one position to another. A target plate 14 made of AR550 hardened steel which is 18″ by 40″ and shaped as shown in
Turning now to
Each of the mounting brackets 30 may include projections 30a with slots 40 which receive the mounting arms or structures 34 of the stand 18. In accordance with one aspect of some embodiments of the invention, the slots 40 on one of the mounting brackets 30 may be larger than the slots on the other mounting bracket. For example, as shown in
Because of the weight of the target plate 14, pivoting of the plate 14 dissipates energy. The amount of energy consumed reduces the amount of energy which the stand 18 must withstand without tipping over. Thus, the likelihood that the high caliber portable target 10 will tip over when impacted is reduced because of the energy dissipated by pivoting of the target plate 14. Additionally, as can be seen in

One advantage of the present configuration is that a pair of nuts and bolts 44 can be used to attach two different feet to the support 22 and to attach the cross-member 50 to the support, thereby reducing cost and materials. By simply removing four bolts the feet 26a, 26b, the cross-member 50 can be removed from the supports 22. Removing another four nuts and bolts 54 allows the other cross-member 50 to be removed. Thus, a sturdy stand can be formed from a relatively small amount of plate steel and bolts, and the stand can be readily disassembled for storage if the stand is not needed, or for transport if the target 10 is to be taken to a different location.
It will be appreciated that the stand 18 is likely to be hit occasionally by high velocity rounds which miss the target plate 14 (
Thus there is disclosed a high caliber portable target. It will be appreciated that numerous changes may be made to the above-disclosed embodiments of target systems and associated methods without departing from the scope of the claims. The appended claims are intended to cover such modifications.
