Three-dimensional archery target

Номер: US20120056380A1
Автор: Dale A. Morrell
Принадлежит: Individual

The present invention is a three-dimensional archery target that simulates an animal and has multiple primary target zones disposed on a central body section. A front end section which includes a head and a rear end section which includes a tail are interchangeably mounted on the central body section. Similarly, front and rear leg sections are also interchangeably mounted on the central body section so that the central body section can be selectively reversed, thereby changing the orientation of the animal's front to back on the target. By reversing the target's orientation, the designated primary target zones can be changed on the central body section, thereby extending the useable life of the archery target.
