ABSTRACT:
A target assembly for use with a variety of non-piercing type projectiles or missiles launched to strike or impinge upon the target, whereupon the latter acts effectively to terminate the flight of the missile. The assembly includes a frame defined by flexible and resilient rods disposed to support a shock-sustainable, shock-resistant tensioned web or target sheet. The web itself is fabricated of a shock-sustainable, shock absorbing material, and is tensioned in a taut mode so that the propulsion energy of the missiles projected to impinge upon the web and to impact thereagainst is effectively dampened and absorbed by the target as the flight of the missile is terminated. The resilient rods which support and tension the impact web of the target are engaged in and secured, at their ends remote from the target web, in a support structure which includes a hub-like block or plate and a substrate-carried supporting stand, all set back or positioned rearwardly of the tensioned web or target sheet. The target assembly is characterized in that, constructed, oriented, and supported as described, after deformation or twisting caused by the impacting of a missile or projectile, the tensioned web resets and returns to its initial, forwardly-presented mode, to face the shooter.
