Abstract

A stationary target shooting system includes a main body having a horizontal member, a vertical member, and a base. The horizontal member is coupled to a first end of the vertical member. The base is coupled to a second end of the vertical member. At least one paper target holder is disposed on the horizontal member. At least one non-paper target holder depends from the horizontal member. The stationary target shooting system is portable and can be easily broken down and reassembled for use on a variety of surfaces. The stationary target shooting system may be adapted for target shooting with both firearms and archery.

Claims

1. A stationary target shooting system, comprising:

a main body including a horizontal member, a vertical member, and a base, the horizontal member coupled to a first end of the vertical member, and the base coupled to a second end of the vertical member;

at least one paper target holder disposed on the horizontal member; and

at least one non-paper target depending from the horizontal member, wherein the paper target holder and the non-paper target holder share a common vertical axis.

2. The stationary target shooting system of claim 1, wherein the at least one paper target holder includes a channel bracket and a substantially U-shaped body having a channel.

3. The stationary target shooting system of claim 2, wherein the U-shaped body is configured to receive and hold a paper target in the channel.

4. The stationary target shooting system of claim 3, wherein the channel bracket is coupled to the horizontal member and is configured to receive and hold the U-shaped body.

5. The stationary target shooting system of claim 4, wherein the U-shaped body is removably secured within the channel bracket with a set screw disposed through a threaded hole in the channel bracket and selectively contacting the U-shaped body.

6. The stationary target shooting system of claim 1, wherein the non-paper target has at least one anchor depending from the non-paper target and configured to connect the non-paper target to a ground surface and stabilize the non-paper target in operation.

7. The stationary target shooting system of claim 6, wherein the non-paper target is an archery block.

8. The stationary target shooting system of claim 1, wherein the base includes a plurality of legs extending horizontally outward from the vertical member.

9. The stationary target shooting system of claim 8, wherein the legs have anchoring pins extending therefrom.

10. The stationary target shooting system of claim 9, wherein the legs are rotatable to selectively present the anchoring pins in one of a first orientation pointed toward a ground surface and a second orientation pointed away from the ground surface.

11. A stationary target shooting system, comprising:

a main body including a horizontal member, a vertical member, and a base, the horizontal member coupled to a first end of the vertical member, and the base coupled to a second end of the vertical member; and

at least one non-paper target depending from the horizontal member, wherein the non-paper target has at least one anchor depending from the non-paper target and configured to connect the non-paper target to a ground surface and stabilize the non-paper target in operation.

12. The stationary target shooting system of claim 11, further including at least one paper target holder disposed on the horizontal member, wherein the at least one paper target holder includes a channel bracket and a substantially U-shaped body having a channel.

13. The stationary target shooting system of claim 12, wherein the U-shaped body is configured to receive and hold a paper target in the channel.

14. The stationary target shooting system of claim 13, wherein the channel bracket is coupled to the horizontal member and is configured to receive and hold the U-shaped body.

15. The stationary target shooting system of claim 14, wherein the U-shaped body is removably secured within the channel bracket with a set screw disposed through a threaded hole in the channel bracket and selectively contacting the U-shaped body.

16. The stationary target shooting system of claim 11, wherein the base includes a plurality of legs extending horizontally outward from the vertical member, the legs further having anchoring pins extending therefrom, and wherein the legs are rotatable to selectively present the anchoring pins in one of a first orientation pointed toward a ground surface and a second orientation pointed away from the ground surface.

17. A stationary target shooting system, comprising:

a main body including

a horizontal member with one of at least one target holder and at least one target,

a vertical member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the vertical member coupled to the horizontal member, and

a base coupled to the second end of the vertical member, wherein the base includes a plurality of legs extending horizontally outward from the vertical member, the legs further having anchoring pins extending therefrom, and wherein the legs are rotatable to selectively present the anchoring pins in one of a first orientation pointed toward a ground surface and a second orientation pointed away from the ground surface.

18. The stationary target shooting system of claim 17, wherein the at least one target holder includes at least one paper target holder disposed on the horizontal member, wherein the at least one paper target holder includes a channel bracket and a substantially U-shaped body having a channel.

19. The stationary target shooting system of claim 18, wherein the U-shaped body is configured to receive and hold a paper target in the channel.

20. The stationary target shooting system of claim 19, wherein the channel bracket is coupled to the horizontal member and is configured to receive and hold the U-shaped body.
