Hit scoring apparatus for shooting practice

A hit-scoring apparatus for shooting practice, comprising:

• a target holder having a body constituting a first stationary and a second movable jaw of a clamping device, said first jaw and said second jaw being electrically insulated from one another, wherein said movable jaw has three integral sections, a central section and two lateral sections, said lateral sections including with said central section an obtuse angle substantially equal to the obtuse angle included by the lateral sections of said stationary jaw with the central section thereof;
• means for imparting to said second jaw a substantially linear movement relative to said first jaw;
• and
• a target panel clampable between said first and second jaws, said target panel having a plurality of layers including an electrically conductive front layer and an electrically conductive second layer separated and spaced apart from said front layer by at least one electrically non-conductive layer, wherein when said target panel is clamped between the first and second jaws of said target holder, separate electrical contacts are established between said front layer and said first jaw on the one hand, and between said second layer and said second jaw on the other hand, said first and second jaws being further connectable to a hit-scoring unit.

A hit-scoring apparatus for shooting practice, comprising:

• a target holder having a body constituting a first stationary jaw and a second movable jaw of a clamping device, said first jaw and said second jaw being electrically insulated from one another, said stationary jaw having three sections, a central section and two lateral sections, said lateral sections including with said central section an obtuse angle;
• means adapted to produce a relative movement between said first jaw and said second jaw;
• and
• a target panel clampable between said first and second jaws, said target panel having a plurality of layers including an electrically conductive front layer and an electrically conductive second layer separated and spaced apart from said front layer by at least one electrically non-conductive layer, wherein when said target panel is clamped between the first and second jaws of said target holder, separate electrical contacts are established between said front layer and said first jaw on the one hand, and between said second layer and said second jaw on the other hand, said first and second jaws being further connectable to a hit-scoring unit.
