A silhouette archery target includes one or more support legs which are supportably received in respective support holes in a base member. The legs and holes are cross-sectionally configured to preclude rotation of the leg in the hole. A rear pivot block is secured to the leg at the base member top surface and has a rearward bottom edge which is located below the center of gravity of the target and serves as a target pivot axis. The forward-facing side of the leg is cut away from just below the top surface of the base member in a manner which permits backward rotation of the target and leg out of the support hole and about the target pivot axis. By selecting the front-to-back depth dimension of the pivot block, one can select the required impact force which causes the target to rotate out of the support hole and topple over. A forward bias block is secured to the leg at the base member top surface to prevent wind directed at the back of the target from toppling the target out of the base member. The blocks may be magnetically or otherwise secured to the leg to permit interchange of different sized blocks and thereby adjust the sensitivity of the target to both arrow impact and wind.
