ABSTRACT:
A reactionary human silhouette targer for shooters is disclosed which gives instantaneous visual and audible reaction to being struck whereby by watching the target and listening, the area of the target which is struck may be determined. The target comprises the upper torso and arms of a person with a body-like front contour, the target mounted on an upright stand. In connecting the target to the stand, a four directional pivot means is provided, together with means to return the target to its original position once moved, the target reacting by pivoting in the direction in which it is struck, and for the instant of being struck in a central target area, the target then raises vertically. Additionally, indication by a different sounding noise is given for different portions of the target being struck.
