Abstract

A remotely-perceptible, impact-indicating target for a projectile, such as a bullet or the like, constructed so as to remotely perceptibly indicate and annunciate very realistically, to a target shooter at a projectile shooting location, the impact of a shot or fired projectile or bullet on a remotely located target in a manner clearly visibly perceptibly indicating not only the hit, but the impact location of the projectile or bullet on the target, by causing the effective expansion in an explosion-simulating manner of a quantity of visibly perceptible target material.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An annunciating target for a shooter of a projectile, wherein the shooter is located remotely from the target, the target comprising:
 a front surface having an image thereon, the image having at least one targeted region;   a rear surface;   a simulated blood and/or tissue packet affixed to the rear surface and comprising substantially liquid material therein in association with each of the at least one target regions, the simulated blood and/or tissue packet adapted to create a blood-colored liquid mist cloud upon piercing of the at least one targeted regions and the associated simulated blood and/or tissue packet, the blood-colored liquid mist cloud annunciating to the shooter that the targeted region was engaged and the simulated blood and/or tissue packet was pierced by the projectile.   
     
     
         2 . The annunciating target of  claim 1 , further comprising the at least one targeted region comprising the image's head and wherein the substantially liquid material within the associated simulated blood and/or tissue packet comprises blood-colored liquid composition to simulate blood and red textured composition to simulate brain matter. 
     
     
         3 . The annunciating target of  claim 1 , further comprising the at least one target region comprising the image's heart region and wherein the substantially liquid material within the associated simulated blood and/or tissue packet comprises blood-colored liquid composition to simulate blood. 
     
     
         4 . The annunciating target of  claim 2 , further comprising the at least one target region comprising the image's heart region and wherein the substantially liquid material within the associated simulated blood and/or tissue packet comprises blood-colored liquid composition to simulate blood. 
     
     
         5 . The annunciating target of  claim 1  wherein the simulated blood and/or tissue packet comprises two plastic sides with heat-sealed edges forming a void therein, wherein the substantially liquid material is disposed. 
     
     
         6 . The annunciating target of  claim 5 , further comprising the plastic sides formed from a self-sealing material. 
     
     
         7 . The annunciating target of  claim 1 , further comprising a bull's eye centered on each of the at least one targeted regions. 
     
     
         8 . A method for annunciating a targeted hit of a shooting target by a shooter with a weapon and associated projectile, the shooter located remotely from the shooting target, comprising:
 providing a target with a front surface and a rear surface and located remotely from the shooter;   providing an image on the front surface of the target;   designating at least one targeted region on the image;   affixing to the rear of the target, and in association with the at least one targeted region, a simulated blood and/or tissue packet comprising a substantially liquid composition comprising blood-colored liquid and/or textured simulated tissue material;   shooting the projectile from the weapon;   engaging the at least one targeted region with the projectile;   piercing the simulated blood and/tissue packet associated with the engaged at least one targeted region;   annunciating the engaging of the at least one targeted region with a blood-colored mist cloud, visible to the remotely located shooter.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising designating the at image's head region as the at least one targeted region and ensuring the substantially liquid material within the associated simulated blood and/or tissue packet comprises a blood-colored liquid composition to simulate blood and blood-colored textured composition to simulate brain matter 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising designating the image's heart region at least one target region as the image's heart region and ensuring the substantially liquid material within the associated simulated blood and/or tissue packet comprises a blood-colored liquid composition to simulate blood. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising designating the image's heart region as the at least one target region and ensuring the substantially liquid material within the associated simulated blood and/or tissue packet comprises a blood-colored liquid composition to simulate blood.
