ABSTRACT:
A target system utilizes a plurality of flexible sheets as a primary projectile arresting structure. Means are provided to hold the sheets spaced apart to form a set of parallel, co-extensive layers, and to suspend the target system from above. With this configuration the layers are capable of halting a projectile through a combination of phenomena, including the transfer of kinetic energy from the projectile as it pushes against the mass of the target itself, causing a backward and forward rocking motion. The layers may be composed of a lightweight material, and the means used to hold the sheets spaced apart may form a box-like structure when brought together, with the sheets of flexible material being foldable for total inclusion therewithin for storage and portability. The box-like structure may further include a separate compartment to house equipment associated with the firing of a projectile, such as a bow and arrows. In the preferred embodiment, each flexible sheet forms a continuous web surrounding upper and lower dowels, thus enabling a user to shift the sheets in relation to one another to misalign previously formed punctures. The webs of sheet material may be manually moveable or, alternatively, a motorized driving means may be employed to move the sheets automatically, including via remote control.
