ABSTRACT:
A folding target holder involves a hinge board with two front legs fixedly attached thereto and a rear leg pivotally attached therebetween and having an upper bevelled surface which, in the unfolded position, abuts the hinge board. In the folded position, the rear leg pivots to a co-planar position between the front legs. The legs are each individually adjustable in length. A target board is hinged at an edge to the lower edge of the hinge board so that, in the folded position the target board extends downward in the same plane as the hinge board and lays against the front legs and folded rear leg. When unfolded, the target board pivots upwardly with its lower portion lying to the front of the hinge board. A separating member positioned within the angular gap between the target board and hinge board serves to physically block any further decrease in that gap. A flexible rubber member having an elongated center section and a protuberant end may be attached to the hinge board so as to have the protuberant end positionable within the angular gap. An elastic cord, which is stretched to encircle about the front of the upwardly extending target board and to the rear of the hinge board, biases the target board and the hinge board pivotally together against the separating member. The same elastic cord may be used to encircle the three legs and the target board in the folded position.
