Abstract
Target and shooting aid having a silhouette of a target connected to a flexible connector. The flexible connector is coupled to an attaching device for attaching the connector to the barrel of a gun. The target silhouette is sized such that it visually corresponds to an image of an actual target that a shooter would view down range. The target image may be selectively manipulated with the line of sight of a shooter.
Claims5
A target and shooting aid, comprising:
- a connecting means having first and second portions, said first portion including a set means adapted to reversibly couple a target representation means to said connecting means, said connecting means including a solid or hollow bar member;
- an attaching means coupled to said second portion of said connecting means, said attaching means comprising a rounded structure being adapted for reversible attachment to an external surface of a dischargable weapon, or simulated weapon, wherein said attaching means does not wrap entirely around said external surface of said dischargeable weapon or simulated weapon, and wherein said attaching means comprises a transverse hole for communicating with said bar member and a means for reversibly fixing the position of said bar member;
- wherein
- (i) said bar member is adapted to permit adjustment of said target representation means in at least two planes;
- and
- (ii) said set means is adapted to communicate with said bar member in such a manner as to permit attachment of said bar member to said target representation means, and to permit adjustment of said target representation means in at least one plane;
- wherein said aid is adapted to permit movement of said target representation means in three planes.
4 more elements
A target and shooting aid, comprising:
- connecting means having first and second ends, wherein said first end may be reversibly coupled to a target representation means, and wherein at least a portion of said connecting means is flexible such that it can be reversibly shaped to permit movement of said target representation means means in three planes;
- and
- attaching means, coupled to said second end of said connecting means, said attaching means being adapted for reversible attachment to an external surface of a dischargeable weapon, or simulated weapon, or to an internal surface of the barrel of a weapon or a simulated weapon wherein the attaching means has an inverted truncated cone shape.
