Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an archery target. The archery target includes a main target body defining an aperture and a target insert configured to fit within the aperture. The target insert has a first target surface and a second target surface. The first target surface defines a first target zone and a second target zone. The second target surface defines a third target zone and a fourth target zone. The target insert is configured to be selectively repositionable by a user to allow any one of the first target zone, the second target zone, the third target zone and the fourth target zone to be positioned in a primary target area of the archery target.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An archery target comprising:
a main target body defining an aperture; and a target insert configured to fit within the aperture, the target insert having a first target surface and a second target surface, the first target surface defining a first target zone and a second target zone, the second target surface defining a third target zone and a fourth target zone, wherein the target insert is configured to be selectively repositionable by a user to allow any one of the first target zone, the second target zone, the third target zone and the fourth target zone to be positioned in a primary target area of the archery target.
2 . The archery target of claim 1 , wherein the first target zone, the second target zone, the third target zone and the fourth target zone each include at least one marking.
3 . The archery target of claim 2 , wherein the at least one marking comprises a circle.
4 . The archery target of claim 1 , wherein the first target zone is visually separated for the user from the second target zone and the third target zone is visually separated for the user from the fourth target zone.
5 . The archery target of claim 4 , wherein the first target zone is visually separated from the second target zone and the third target zone is visually separated from the fourth target zone by a marking
6 . The archery target of claim 5 , wherein the marking is a diagonal line.
7 . The archery target of claim 1 , wherein the main target body simulates a three-dimensional animal and the aperture is located in a kill zone of the animal.
8 . The archery target of claim 7 , wherein the aperture extends through the main target body and the target insert is sized to fill the aperture such that the first target surface conforms to a first lateral surface of the main target body and the second target surface conforms to a second lateral surface of the main target body.
9 . The archery target of claim 1 , wherein when the first target zone is in the primary target area the second target area is spaced apart from the primary target area.
10 . The archery target of claim 9 , wherein the second target zone is spaced rearward of the first target zone when the first target zone is in the primary target area.
11 . An archery target comprising:
a main target body that simulates a three-dimensional animal, the main target body forming a first target surface and defining an aperture in an anatomically correct area of at least one vital organ of the animal, the aperture being sized to extend beyond the area of the at least one vital organ; a target insert configured to substantially fill the aperture, the target insert having a first side forming a second target surface and a second side forming a third target surface, the second target surface having a first target zone and a second target zone, the third target surface having a third target zone and a fourth target zone, wherein the target insert is selectively repositionable relative to the main target body between a first position in which the first target zone is within the area of the at least one vital organ, a second position in which the second target zone is within the area of the at least one vital organ, a third position in which the third target zone is within the area of the at least one vital organ, and a fourth position in which the fourth target zone is within the area of the at least one vital organ.
12 . The archery target of claim 1 , wherein the first target zone, the second target zone, the third target zone and the fourth target zone each include at least one marking.
13 . The archery target of claim 12 , wherein the at least one marking comprises a circle.
14 . The archery target of claim 12 , wherein the at least one marking comprises indicia representing a location the at least one vital organ.
15 . The archery target of claim 11 , wherein the first target zone is visually separated from the second target zone and the third target zone is visually separated from the fourth target zone.
16 . The archery target of claim 15 , wherein the first target zone is visually separated from the second target zone and the third target zone is visually separated from the fourth target zone by a marking
17 . The archery target of claim 16 , wherein the marking is a diagonal line.
18 . An insert for an archery target, the insert comprising:
a first side forming a first target surface, the first target surface having a first target zone and a second target zone; and a second side forming a second target surface, the second target surface having a third target zone and a fourth target zone, wherein the target insert is configured to be selectively repositionable relative to the archery target between a first position in which the first target zone is within a primary target area of archery target, a second position in which the second target zone is within the primary target area of the archery target, a third position in which the third target zone is within the primary target area of the archery target, and a fourth position in which the fourth target zone is within the primary target area of the archery target.
19 . The insert of claim 18 , further comprising a first marking visually separating the first target zone from the second target zone and a second marking visually separating the third target zone from the fourth target zone.
20 . The insert of claim 18 , further comprising at least one target marking on each of the first target zone, the second target zone, the third target zone and the fourth target zone.Cited by (0)
