The present invention relates to a shooting target for use in shooting training.
Conventionally, shooting training and education using a shooting target have been performed in the Japan Self Defense Force and a security organization (police, Japan Coast Guard, etc.).
Since this shooting training is repeatedly performed by a large number of members, the shooting target needs to be frequently replaced, and in a case where a bullet hits a target stand holding the shooting target and the target stand is damaged, the target stand also needs to be replaced.
In view of such an actual situation, conventional shooting training has a problem that not only economic loss is large, but also labor involved in replacement is always required, and thus a large burden is imposed on the members.
In order to solve such a problem, JP No. 3619960 describes an invention related to a target apparatus that has a life longer than that of a wooden target apparatus, can reduce replacement labor, and is economical.
In addition, JP 1997-280794 A describes an invention related to a target that can effectively prevent a risk of being repelled by a repulsive force when a bullet hits a target directly, and also enhances repetitive usability and handleability.
However, the inventions described in these patent literatures include a target stand, and all of them are mainly devised for the target stand. The target itself installed on the target stand is a simple rectangular shape, and functionality of the target itself is not considered at all.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a shooting target with further improved functionality.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a shooting target including: a target main body that is a substantially plate-shaped body and serves as a target; an auxiliary portion; and a joining portion configured to join the target main body and the auxiliary portion,
wherein the auxiliary portion has an auxiliary portion main body protruded from an outer peripheral end surface of the target main body, and
the joining portion separably joins the target main body and the auxiliary portion main body.
According to the present invention, by having the auxiliary portion main body protruded from the target main body that serves as a target, the shooting target can be attached to a target stand via the auxiliary portion main body. This makes it possible to effectively utilize the entire target main body as a target.
In addition, since the target main body and the auxiliary portion main body are separably joined to each other by the joining portion, it is possible to use only the target main body for training in accordance with a usage environment of the shooting target, such as in a case where the auxiliary portion main body is unnecessary.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary portion main body is protruded substantially parallel to a surface direction of the target main body.
With the above-described configuration, it is possible to stack a plurality of targets for shooting in a compact manner without bulking the entire shooting target, so that transportation, storage, and the like become easier.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary portion main body is a frame body provided to cover the entire outer peripheral end surface of the target main body.
With the above-described configuration, when the shooting target is attached to the target stand via the auxiliary portion main body, it is possible to flexibly change a holding mode in accordance with the target stand to be used, such as fastening the shooting target via right and left portions of the auxiliary portion main body or suspending the shooting target via an upper portion of the auxiliary portion main body.
Further, by hollowing out and separating the target main body from the auxiliary portion main body, it is possible to use the separated target main body or auxiliary portion main body as a mold for coloring a specific region of another shooting target. That is, since the plurality of shooting targets are in a state where they can be identified on the basis of the presence or absence of coloring, they can be used for training of shooting by identifying the presence or absence of coloring, and by using, as a mold, the separated target main body or auxiliary portion main body, it is possible to easily perform work of coloring the specific region of each of these shooting targets in various colors.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary portion main body is formed of a plurality of auxiliary-portion main-body components separably joined to each other by the joining portion.
With the above-described configuration, the auxiliary-portion main-body components can be partially separated from the auxiliary portion main body, for example, in accordance with the target stand to be used, and an outer shape of the shooting target can be more flexibly changed in accordance with the usage environment and the like.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary portion has a display portion provided on an outer surface of the target main body, and the joining portion joins the display portion to the target main body such that the display portion can be hollowed out.
With the above-described configuration, the display portion or the target main body in which the display portion is hollowed out can be used as a mold when a specific region of another shooting target is colored.
That is, since the plurality of shooting targets are in a state where they can be identified on the basis of the presence or absence of the display portion, they can be used for training of shooting by identifying the presence or absence of the display portion, and by using, as a mold, the target main body in which the display portion is hollowed out, it is possible to easily perform work of forming a copied portion in which a shape of the display portion is copied in the specific region of each of these shooting targets.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the target main body and the auxiliary portion are formed of cardboard, and the joining portion is perforation.
With the above-described configuration, it is possible to manufacture the shooting target at low cost, and work of separating the target main body and the auxiliary portion becomes easier.
According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a shooting target with further improved functionality.
