Abstract

A target pin holster system includes target pins, which are used to secure a paper target face to a penetrable archery target, and a holster that securely stores the target pins when they are not in use. Each target pin houses an embedded magnet which is attracted to a magnet embedded in the target pin retention holster resulting in safe and secure storage for the target pins when they are not in use.
