Abstract
An audible response self-healing target having a generally flat shell mated with a generally flat metal strike plate. The shell has a “self-healing” polymer “target zone”, and tabs that hold the metal plate parallel to the target zone with a small gap of approximately one-half inch. The shell rotatably mounts onto a pole, such that when a projectile, such as a bullet slug, impacts the target's strike zone, the slug penetrates the polymer and strikes the metal plate, kinetically causing the target to rotate about the pole and also causing the metal plate to generate an audible response.
Claims20
An audible response self-healing target comprising:
- a. a first body, said first body having a strike zone comprising a “self-healing” polymer;
- and
- b. a strike plate comprising a material capable of generating an audible response when struck by a projectile, said strike plate positioned at least in part behind said strike zone of said first body, said strike plate and said strike zone being separated by a gap there between.
An audible response self-healing target comprising:
- a. a strike plate comprising a material capable of generating an audible response when struck by a projectile;
- and
- b. a first body, said first body having a strike zone comprising a “self-healing” polymer, and an attachment member shaped and sized to secure at least a portion of said strike plate to said first body, said first body strike zone being positioned at least in part in front of said strike plate, said strike zone and said strike plate being separated by a gap there between, said attachment member being shaped and sized to secure at least a portion of said strike plate to said first body.
