Abstract
A shooting target comprising a target body including an outer skin having a front face and an inner surface; an interior cavity; one or more fluid carriers disposed in the interior cavity, adjacent the outer skin, and carrying colored fluid; and a carrier backing urging the one or more fluid carriers against the inner surface of the outer skin. Upon penetration of the outer skin and the one or more fluid carriers, colored fluid is emitted from the one or more fluid carriers and onto the front face.
Claims16
A shooting target, comprising:
- a target body comprising:
- an outer skin having a front face and an inner surface;
- an interior cavity;
- multiple independent fluid carriers disposed in the interior cavity, adjacent the outer skin, and carrying colored fluid;
- a carrier backing urging the multiple independent fluid carriers against the inner surface of the outer skin,
- wherein upon penetration of the outer skin and the multiple independent fluid carriers, colored fluid is emitted from the multiple independent fluid carriers and onto the front face.
A method of manufacturing a shooting target, comprising:
- forming an outer skin made of at least one of a semi-rigid clear PVC, PETG, and plastic, the outer skin having an interior cavity, a front face, and an inner surface;
- adding multiple non-connected colored fluid carriers to the interior cavity adjacent to the outer skin, the multiple non-connected fluid carriers independently movable relative to each other when added to the cavity;
- applying a carrier backing behind the multiple non-connected colored fluid carriers so that the carrier backing urges the multiple non-connected colored fluid carriers against the inner surface of the outer skin.
A method of manufacturing a shooting target, comprising:
- forming an outer skin made of at least one of a semi-rigid clear PVC, PETG, and plastic, the outer skin having an interior cavity, a front face, and an inner surface;
- adding one or more colored fluid carriers to the interior cavity adjacent to the outer skin;
- applying a carrier backing behind the one or more colored fluid carriers so that the carrier backing urges the one or more colored fluid carriers against the inner surface of the outer skin, and further comprising back filling the interior cavity with a filler after adding the one or more colored fluid carriers and applying the carrier backing.
