Abstract
A target for shooting is provided of a substantially circular formation, having an inner body portion formed of a gypsum composition, with an outer coating or skin. The target has a medial portion which extends into an outwardly and downwardly curving side skirt. One or more raised portions are provided on an outer surface of the skirt, at least one raised portion being positioned on an upper portion of the skirt, at or adjacent an area where said skirt is of a lesser or reduced thickness.
Claims6
A unitary target integrally formed of a substantially circular formation having an inner body portion formed of a free particulate gypsum composition and being completely coated and encapsulated by a sealant forming an outer skin of said target;
- an outer upper surface of said target having a medial portion extending into an outwardly and downwardly curving side skirt;
- said inner body portion of free particulate gypsum composition being completely encapsulated without binding additive, within said outer skin formed of a material which is environmentally friendly and which is different from and harder and brittle relative to, the free particulate gypsum composition of the inner body portion, a plurality of raised portions being provided extending upwardly from the outer upper surface of the outer skin, to be positioned on a upper area of said skirt adjacent to but spaced apart outwardly from said medial portion;
- at least one of said raised portions extending outwardly from said outer upper surface of the outer skin for a greater distance than the other(s), and wherein said skirt is of a reduced thickness at or adjacent the location of said at least one raised portion.
A unitary target integrally formed of a substantially circular formation having an inner body portion formed of an environmentally friendly material and being encapsulated by an outer skin formed of an environmentally friendly material, an outer upper surface of said target having a medial portion extending into an outwardly and downwardly curving side skin, said inner body portion being completely encapsulated within said outer skin without binding additive, said material of said outer skin being different from and harder and brittle relative to the material of the inner body portion, a plurality of spaced apart raised portions extending upwardly from the outer upper surface, at least one raised portion extending outwardly from the outer upper surface a greater distance than the other(s), said skirt being of a reduced thickness at or adjacent the location of said least one outwardly extending raised portion, whereby a pellet or bullet contacting a target in flight will come into contact with said at least one raised portion to be deflected into the skin area of reduced thickness and to thereby cause disintegration of said target.
