Abstract
A target material comprises a rubber sheet coated with a thermoluminescent material. When a bullet penetrates the target, as a result of the temperature rise the thermoluminescent material thermoluminesces indicating where the bullet went. A range is disclosed in which images of targets are projected onto the target material.
Claims4
A target comprising a support member adapted to be penetrated by projectiles, said support member being formed from a resilient material which is not destroyed when a projectile passes therethrough and which locally increases in temperature as it is penetrated by said projectile, a coating of thermoluminescent material on said support member which is operable to luminesce in the area adjacent the position at which the projectile passes through the target.
