Abstract

A target system for receiving a target having a target body and target projection extending therefrom. The target system comprises a main frame and a target attachment system. The main frame comprises an elongated target receiving member defining an elongated target receiving member surface and two vertically distant projections extending from the elongated target receiving member surface. The target attachment system comprises pair of target attachment supports adapted for being distantly and concurrently mounted on the projections, each one of the target attachment supports having an opening therethrough. The target attachment supports are mounted as a pair, and are defining a passage defined by their openings, the passage being adapted for receiving the target projection. As a result, the target, when hit on the target body, rotates freely around a rotation axis defined by the passage.
