Stationary target assembly

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional patent application No. 60/931,689, dated May 25, 2007.

The present disclosure relates to targets used in the practice of aiming guns. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a stationary target assembly which facilitates practice in the mounting and aiming of a gun at a moving target.

Shooting of a moving target such as a clay pigeon or a flying fowl with a shotgun requires a high degree of skill in mounting and aiming of the shotgun at the target. A shooter may have a tendency to either shoot behind or ahead of the moving target, particularly in the case of a fast-moving target such as a clay pigeon. Therefore, consistent timing of the mounting and aiming of the shotgun and pulling of the trigger with striking of the target typically requires repetitive practice in mounting and aiming of the shotgun.

Accordingly, a stationary target assembly is needed which facilitates practice in the mounting and aiming of a gun at a moving target.

A stationary target assembly includes an assembly support frame having a main frame member and a target support frame member provided on the main frame member and a pair of spaced-apart simulated targets provided on the target support frame member of the assembly support frame.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The disclosure will now be made, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 is a front view of an illustrative embodiment of the stationary target assembly;

FIG. 1A is an enlarged sectional view, taken along section line 1A in FIG. 1, more particularly illustrating an exemplary technique for attaching a target support frame member to a frame extension of the stationary target assembly;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the stationary target assembly;

FIG. 3 is a front view of the stationary target assembly, more particularly illustrating a vertical adjustment capability of the assembly;

FIG. 4 is a top view of the stationary target assembly, more particularly illustrating a swivel attachment of a target support frame member to an assembly support frame (not illustrated) of the assembly;

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view, taken along section lines 5-5 in FIG. 1, of a main frame member of the assembly;

FIG. 6 is a front view of the stationary target assembly, more particularly illustrating variable placement capability of a pair of targets on the target support frame member of the assembly;
