Adjustable target

Abstract

An adjustable target has a first target section and second target section attached to a base and an adjusting device. The second target section is at least partially visible through an opening in the first target section. An adjusting device engageably attaches to the first target section providing for a reduced effective size of the target area. An adjusting device is also disclosed.

1 . An adjustable target comprising:
 a base;   a first target section and a second target section attached to the base, the second target section having a target area at least partially visible through an opening in the first target section; and   an adjusting device engageably attached to the first target section, wherein engaging the adjusting device reduces the effective size of the target area.   
   
   
       2 . The target of  claim 1  wherein contacting the second target section moves the second target section to an inoperative position 
   
   
       3 . The target of  claim 1  wherein the first target section is engageably attached to the second target section. 
   
   
       4 . The target of  claim 2  wherein contacting the second target section moves the first target section and second target section to an inoperative position. 
   
   
       5 . The target of  claim 1  wherein the first target section is the shape of an animal. 
   
   
       6 . The target of  claim 5  wherein the location of the opening corresponds to the kill zone of the animal. 
   
   
       7 . The target of  claim 1 , further comprising a reset device. 
   
   
       8 . The target of  claim 7 , wherein the target is automatically reset. 
   
   
       9 . The target of  claim 7  wherein the reset device is operatively attached to the first target section. 
   
   
       10 . The target of  claim 1 , wherein the adjusting device is a substantially similar shape to the opening. 
   
   
       11 . The target of  claim 10 , wherein the adjusting device is generally circular. 
   
   
       12 . An adjustable target comprising:
 a first target section engageably connected to a second target section, a target area on the second target section being visible through an opening in the first target section, the first target section and second target section being operatively attached to a base, wherein contacting the target area moves the first target section and the second target section to an inoperative position; and an adjusting device engageably attached to the first target section, wherein engaging the adjusting device reduces the effective size of target area.   
   
   
       13 . The target of  claim 12  wherein the first target section is the shape of an animal. 
   
   
       14 . The target of  claim 12  further comprises a reset device. 
   
   
       15 . The target of  claim 14 , wherein the reset device is operatively attached to the first target section. 
   
   
       16 . The target of  claim 14 , wherein the target is automatically reset. 
   
   
       17 . The target of  claim 12 , wherein the adjusting device is a substantially similar shape to the opening. 
   
   
       18 . The target of  claim 12 , wherein the adjusting device is generally circular. 
   
   
       19 . An adjusting device engageably attached to a target having a target area, whereby engaging the device decreases the effective size of the target area. 
   
   
       20 . The adjusting device of  19 , wherein the adjusting device is generally circular.
