be returned to its normal position bar 58 is loosely mounted to reset lever 26 and pivotally mounted upon bolt 52 said bar 58 acting to hold reset lever 26 in its normal position fig5 also illustrates the positioning of legs 32 on protrusions 33 34 protrusions 33 are perpendicularly mounted by weldment or other means at opposite ends of stop rod 40 the outside diameter of protrusions 33 34 is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of legs 32 allowing legs 32 to be frictionally held on protrusions 33 34 legs 32 are angled outward to provide stability turning now to fig6 the target apparatus 10 is viewed from the left side with all its components in their normal position attention is drawn to spring 42 which is extended when lever 31 pivots upon pivot rod 22 in the direction of the dotted arrows resulting in a horizontal positioning of said lever 31 as depicted by broken lines the pivoting of lever 31 is caused by individual target 14 being struck by a bullet or other projectile and causing target stem 20 to fall backwards against reset bar 28 which is attached to lever 31 causing target stem 20 to move said reset bar 28 in contact with catch plate 30 reset bar 28 is depicted by broken lines being held in place by catch plate 30 lever 31 stays in its horizontal position as illustrated by broken lines until catch plate 30 releases reset bar 28 when reset bar 28 is freed from catch plate 30 spring 42 contracts and moves lever 31 in the opposite direction of dotted arrows to its normal position since reset bar 28.
