Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented invention is to provide an improved target device for firearms that can resist repetitive impact without losing its strength or performance over time.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes various technical problem addressed in the previous patents relating to improving the durability of target structures used in ballistics training. Prior art proposals involve using expensive materials like stout foils or laminar sheets, while some proposed solutions include adding a reflective layer to increase visibility and reduce wear. Additionally, current methods require frequent replacements of worn parts due to damage caused by heavy hitting or collateral damage. Therefore, the goal of the present invention is to develop an improved target apparatus that overcomes these limitations and achieves better durability.

Abstract

A target apparatus comprises a plurality of cables and a rigid frame wherein each cable is attached to the rigid frame at least one end of the cable. The plurality of cables is attached to the frame in staggered orientation to one another, and each of the plurality of cables is interchangeable with any other cable of congruent dimension. The plurality of cables is attached to the frame in zigzag orientation to one another. The impact of bullets, mortars, and varying other ammunition rounds upon the plurality of cables is dampened in the loose hanging cables, thereby resulting in a less violent blow to the overall target apparatus. The target apparatus is capable of multiple uses before total destruction of the target apparatus.
