Abstract: The present invention is directed to a hit-scoring apparatus for shooting practice. It is also directed to a hit-scoring target panel for shooting practice.

Abstract: The invention provides a hit-scoring apparatus for shooting practice, comprising a target holder consisting of a body constituting the first and second jaws of a clamping device, the first jaw and the second jaw being electrically insulated from one another, means adapted to produce a relative movement between the first jaw and the second jaw, and a target panel clampable between the first and second jaws, the target panel consisting of a plurality of layers including an electrically conductive front layer and an electrically conductive second layer separated and spaced apart from the front layer by at least one electrically non-conductive layer. When the target panel is clamped between the first and second jaws of the target holder, separate electrical contacts are established between the front layer and the first jaw on the one hand, and between the second layer and the second jaw on the other hand, the first and second jaws being further connectable to a hit-scoring unit.

Abstract: A hit-scoring target for shooting practice having several mutually bonded layers, a first layer at least the outside surface of which is electrically conductive, a second, electrically nonconductive, at least semi-rigid layer imparting mechanical strength to the first layer and made of a material tolerant of the heat of a freshly fired projectile, a third, electrically nonconductive layer made of an elastically resilient material, a fourth layer of which at least the surface contacting the third layer is electrically conductive, and a fifth layer serving as a backing and imparting relative rigidity to said target. The distance between the electrically conductive surfaces of the first and the fourth layer is smaller than the length of the shortest projectile to be fired at the target, whereby a projectile hitting, penetrating and passing through the target causes a transient electrical low-resistance connection to be established between the electrically conductive surfaces.
