Another advantage of the archery target is that it reduces damage from arrow heads and has a relatively “long life.” Yet another advantage of the archery target is that it reduces the amount of force required from an archer to extract an arrow from the target. Still another object of the archery target is that it allows an archer to shoot arrows into the target from all directions including all sides, top and bottom.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a modified composite archery target. A feature of the modified archery target is a third member fabricated from a relatively dense material capable of preventing “broad head” arrows from piercing the target, then continuing flight until engaging another object or person. An advantage of the modified composite archery target is that safety is maintained irrespective of the type of arrow being shot, or the type of bow shooting the arrow.
- Briefly, the invention provides a composite archery target comprising a first member fabricated from a tear resistant material; a second member fabricated from a healing material, said second member being disposed about said first member; and means for securing said second member to said first member, whereby a composite archery target is fabricated that prevents an arrow from traveling through the archery target and that minimizes damage to the archery target when the arrow is forcibly removed from the archery target.
- Further, the invention provides a target device comprising a tear resistant core material; a memory material surrounding and secured to said core material; a safety material secured to at least one portion of said memory material; and means for securing said core, memory and safety materials to a stand.
- Also, the invention provides a method for fabricating an archery target, said method including the steps of providing a tear resistant first member; securing a second member about said first member, said second member being fabricated from a material that returns to its original configuration after an arrow is removed therefrom; and securing a third member about said second member, said third member being fabricated from a safety material that prevents preselected arrows from piercing said archery target and continuing flight.

-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a composite archery target in accordance with the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective, exploded view of a composite archery target in accordance with the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective, exploded view of a modified composite archery target in accordance with the present invention. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a composite archery target in accordance with the present invention is denoted asnumeral 10. The archery target includes afirst member 12 fabricated from a tear resistant material, asecond member 14 fabricated from a “healing” material, thesecond member 14 being disposed about thefirst member 12, and anadhesive material 16 for securing thesecond member 14 to thefirst member 12, whereby acomposite archery target 10 is fabricated that prevents an arrow (not depicted) from traveling through thearchery target 10 and that minimizes damage to thearchery target 10 when the arrows are forcibly removed from thearchery target 10. - The
first member 12 or inner core material is fabricated from a relatively “light weight,” tear resistant material having sufficient density to prevent an arrow from passing or traveling completely through the tear resistant material. Thefirst member 12 is substantially a cube having a square or rectangle configuration when taking front or top views of thefirst member 12. The dimensions of thefirst member 12 will correspond to the type of arrow being shot at thetarget 10 and the type of bow (not depicted) shooting the arrow. More specifically, the greater the force generated by the bow and the more penetrating the design of the arrow head, the larger thefirst member 12 required to prevent the arrow from traveling through thetarget 10. The preferred tear resistant, light weight material is polystyrene or a polystyrene braid with a preselected rating in pounds, however a myriad of alternative materials may be utilized including but not limited to ethafoam (manufactured by EAR Speciality Composites, and having an address of 79112 Lovesville Rd., Indianapolis, Ind. 46268), polyester batting (manufactured by Fairfield Processing, and having an address of Rose Hill Ave. Danbury, Conn. 06810), delcron, kevlar, and combinations of polystyrene, polystyrene braid, ethafoam, polyester batting, delcron, and kevlar may be used to fabricate thefirst member 12. - The
second member 14 or outer “healing” material is fabricated from a relatively light weight material that has a “memory,” that causes the material to resume its original configuration after removing an arrow which has penetrated thesecond member 14, thereby giving the target 10 a clean appearance even after being penetrated by multiple arrows. The preferred outer material is polyethylene, however polyurethane, polypropylene, delcron, kevlar, and combinations of ethafoam, polyurethane, polypropylene, delcron, and kevlar may be used to fabricate thesecond member 14. Thesecond member 14 includes six rectangular configured “bricks” 18 that attach to eachface 15 of thefirst member 12 via an adhesive, thereby allowing one or more archers to shoot at thetarget 10 from a myriad of positions. The dimensions of thebricks 18 promote the complete covering of thefaces 15 of thefirst member 12 by thebricks 18. Further, the “thickness” of eachbrick 18 corresponds to the force generated by bow and the design of the arrow head. As with thefirst member 12, the greater the force generated by the bow and the more penetrating the design of the arrow head, the thicker thebricks 18 of thesecond member 14. - The first and
second members second member 14 about thefirst member 12, thereby fabricating acomposite archery target 10 that prevents an arrow from traveling through thearchery target 10 and minimizes damage to thetarget 10 when the arrow is removed, irrespective of design of the arrow or the bow force urging the arrow into thetarget 10. To further challenge an archer, a plurality of “mini-targets” 20 are removably secured or otherwise attached to the surface of thebricks 18 of thesecond member 14. The configuration of the mini-targets may vary pursuant the an archer's requirements. - In operation, an
archery target 10 is fabricated from two dissimilar materials with different densities that form first andsecond members target 10. Further, the first andsecond members target 10, the distance of penetration of the arrow into thetarget 10 being dependent upon the force generated by the bow shooting the arrow, the design of the arrow head, and the distance of the archer from thetarget 10. Thesecond member 14 is secured about thefirst member 12 via anadhesive 16 such that thefirst member 12 has no exposed portion that might be struck by an arrow. Thetarget 10 may be set upon a ground surface, or elevated above ground by a stand or wire secured to one ormore bricks 18 of thesecond member 14. When an arrow shot from a bow impacts one side of thetarget 10, the material of thesecond member 14 begins to slow the arrow until the arrow engages thefirst member 12, whereupon the arrow is ultimately stopped and retained, thereby preventing the arrow from exiting an opposite side of thetarget 10. The archer then grasps the arrow and with a relatively small amount of force, removes the arrow form thetarget 10 without damaging thetarget 10, resulting in target with a “clean” appearance. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , a modified composite archery target in accordance with the present invention is denoted asnumeral 50. The modifiedtarget 50 includes the first andsecond members composite archery target 10, and a third member 52 disposed between thefirst member 12 and onebrick 18 of thesecond member 14. The third member 52 is fabricated from a relatively dense, “safety” material such as polyethylene cross linked foam or a polyethylene of similar density, manufactured by Wisconsin Foam located in Milwaukee, Wis. The function of the third member 52 is to prevent preselected arrows (not depicted) with high penetrating features, such as “broad head” arrows, from piercing the modifiedtarget 50, then continuing flight until engaging another object or person. - The modified
target 50 maintains safety by keeping projected arrows in the modifiedtarget 50, irrespective of the type of arrow being shot or the power of the bow shooting the arrow. The modifiedtarget 50 may vary in dimension and configuration pursuant to the requirements of the user, the requirements being based on the distance between the user and the modifiedtarget 50, and the size of hunted game animal being represented by the modifiedtarget 50. Further, the modifiedtarget 50 may be structured such that multiple third members 52 are disposed between thefirst member 12 and selectedbricks 18 of thesecond member 14, thereby maintaining safety for arrows projected from a plurality of directions by stopping broad head arrows or substantially similar arrows from going completely through the modifiedtarget 50. Also, when a plethora of arrow designs are being shot at one modifiedtarget 50, the material of fabrication of the first andthird members 12 and 52 may be interchanged to promote the penetration of the modifiedtarget 50 by all the different arrows, thereby preventing an arrow with marginal penetration from “bouncing off” or ricocheting from the modifiedtarget 50 and striking other objects or persons. Should the arrow designs require further target changes to achieve optimum performance; the first, second andthird members - The modified
target 50 utilizes theglue 16 of thecomposite archery target 10 to secure the first, second andthird members target 50 includes a plurality of nylon straps 54 secured about thetarget 50, via velcro or similar securing means, to provide a means for securing eithertarget target - The foregoing description is for purposes of illustration only and is not intended to limit the scope of protection accorded this invention.
