Abstract
Target for helice target shooting comprising a helical body and a center piece that are snap-coupled together; the helical body comprising a cylindrical annular portion that extends according to a central axis (A) and is provided, peripherally, of at least one pair of mushroom-shaped projections so configured as to couple with the center piece in correspondence of respective peripheral seats; the annular portion having crack nucleation means suitable to facilitate the fracture, in use, by at least one shot.
Claims10
Target (1) for helice target shooting comprising:
- a helical body (10) comprising a cylindrical annular portion (12) that extends according to a central axis (A) and is provided, peripherally, with at least one pair of mushroom-shaped projections (14);
- and
- a witness cap (20) provided with at least one pair of peripheral seats (22);
- wherein said helical body (10) and said witness cap (20) are dimensioned and configured to be snap-coupled together by engaging said at least one pair of mushroom-shaped projections (14) with said at least one pair of peripheral seats (22);
- wherein said annular portion (12) is peripherally delimited by an inner face (120) and an outer face (122);
- wherein said helical body (10) has crack nucleation means (30) suitable to facilitate the brittle fracture of said annular portion (12), in use, following at least one shot, thereby resulting in a breakage of said helical body (10) being sufficient to free said witness cap (20) from said helical body (10);
- wherein said breakage of said helical body (10) results in a destruction thereof such that said helical body (10) is configured for a single use and cannot be re-used after being broken.
