MODULAR AND PORTABLE TARGET SHOOTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A modular target shooting system, comprising:
- at least one target module comprising;
a single vertical support member;
a single support base removably coupled to a proximal end of the vertical support member, the support base for supporting a distal end of the vertical support member in a substantially vertical orientation with respect to a surface upon which it rests;
at least one horizontal support member, removably coupled to the vertical support member in a substantially perpendicular orientation to the vertical support member and parallel to the resting surface; and
at least one target removably coupled to the module.

Abstract
The modular target shooting system employs tubular members and fittings made from durable materials such as EMT. The members are easily secured together and broken back down by the use of simple thumb screws threaded into weld nuts. The system is based on standard target module that includes a stanchion made from a single vertical support member and a single support base. The base has at least three feet that are deployed to provide stability, but can also pivot upwardly from the deployed position to aid in portability. The module typically has at least one horizontal support member that is used to support at least one steel target rotatably coupled to the horizontal member. The standard target module also typically has a zone target that usually includes a paper depiction of an animal or a person, or a circular target. The system can then be easily expanded horizontally by adding as many target modules as desired, and coupling them together with tubular single and double T connectors to horizontal members commonly coupled between the target modules for even greater stability.
