Abstract
Firearm targets and methods for manufacturing firearm targets are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a target includes a substrate, a release layer on the substrate, and an ink layer on the release layer such that the release layer is positioned between the ink layer and the substrate. The ink layer at least partially defines a target image. The ink layer has a first section with a first color and a second section with a second color different than the first color.
Claims16
A firearm target, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a first ink layer on the substrate;
- a release layer on the first ink layer such that the first ink layer is positioned between the release layer and the substrate;
- and
- a second ink layer carried by the substrate, the second ink layer at least partially defining a target image and including (a) a first section having a first color and covering at least part of the first ink layer, and (b) a second section having a second color different than the first color, wherein the second ink layer is configured so that the impact of a firearm projectile detaches a portion of the second ink layer from the substrate and exposes a surface of the first ink layer and/or the substrate;
- wherein the first section of the second ink layer comprises a plurality of spaced apart portions separated by gaps;
- and
- wherein the first ink layer is visible through the gaps.

A firearm target comprising:
- a substrate;
- a release layer on the substrate;
- an ink layer on the release layer such that the release layer is positioned between the ink layer and the substrate, the ink layer at least partially defining a target image and having a first section with a first color and a second section with a second color different than the first color;
- the subtrate includes a first area, a second area different than the first area, and a third color different than the first and second colors;
- the ink layer comprises a first ink layer;
- the target further comprises a second ink layer positioned between the substrate and the release layer;
- the second ink layer covers the first area of the target and has a fourth color different than the first, second, and third colors;
- the first section of the first ink layer covers at least a portion of the second ink layer and includes a plurality of discrete portions separated by gaps;
- the gaps between adjacent portions of the first section of the first ink layer expose sections of the second ink layer;
- and
- the second section of the first ink layer covers the second area of the substrate.

- wherein the first section of the second ink layer comprises a plurality of spaced apart portions separated by gaps;
- and
- wherein the first ink layer is visible through the gaps.
