ABSTRACT:
A combination target for use in competitive shooting tournaments includes primary and secondary targets which are reliably presented to a shooter in sequence as well as a signalling arrangement which signals a hit only after both targets have fallen to a scoring position. The combination target includes a face plate including at least first and second apertures, a primary target and a secondary target being positioned behind the face plate and respectively at the first and second apertures. A target protector plate is further provided for protecting the secondary target from being struck by a projectile until the primary target has been knocked down to a scoring position. The target protector plate is pivotally mounted so as to be movable, by gravity, from a first position covering the second aperture to a second position uncovering the second aperture. Also included is a target protector plate mechanism for holding the target protector plate at the first position until the primary target has been knocked down and for releasing the protector plate from the first position to uncover the second aperture when the primary target has fallen to the scoring position. A signalling arrangement is further included for providing an indication or signal when both the primary and secondary targets have fallen to the scoring position, the signalling arrangement being movable between a hidden position and a signalling position.
