Abstract
An apparatus arranged to activate luminescence in a projectile comprising: a trigger circuit arranged to cause a clay pigeon trap to launch the projectile; and a light emitting source configured to emit a flash of light in response to a signal from the trigger circuit, wherein the trigger circuit is arranged to provide a predetermined time delay in order to allow the luminescence in the projectile to be activated prior to launching.

An apparatus arranged to activate luminescence in a projectile comprising:
- a trigger circuit arranged to cause a clay pigeon trap to launch the projectile;
- and
- a light emitting source configured to emit a flash of light in response to a signal from the trigger circuit, wherein the trigger circuit is arranged to provide a predetermined time delay in order to allow the luminescence in the projectile to be activated prior to launching.
A method of using a projectile having a luminescent coating comprising:
- activating said coating by irradiating the projectile using a light emitting source, wherein the light emitting source is configured to emit a flash in response to a signal from a trigger circuit arranged to cause a clay pigeon trap to launch the projectile;
- and
- launching said illuminated target after the coating has been irradiated for a fixed duration by said light emitting source, wherein said trigger circuit is arranged to provide a predetermined time delay in order to allow the luminescence to be activated prior to launching.
