Abstract:
An impact marking target includes a base. A transitional target image carried by a front surface of the base includes a halo-defining portion having a highly visible first color. Transitional target indicia formed against the halo-defining portion have a second color that contrasts with the first color for marking discrete regions of the transitional target image. The transitional target image includes an ink that is permanently bonded to and not dislodgeable from the front surface of the base. An exterior target image is applied over the base covering the transitional target image. The exterior target image includes a dislodgeable ink having a third color that contrasts with the first color. The exterior target image also includes exterior target indicia that positionally correspond with the transitional target indicia. A transparent film is interposed between the halo-defining portion and the exterior target image. When a projectile strikes the exterior target image, the dislodgeable ink around about the point of impact is removed to expose a portion of the transitional target image and any transitional target indicia within that exposed portion.

Claim (Index 14):
An impact marking target comprising:\n a base having front and back surfaces; a transitional target image carried by said front surface of said base, said, transitional target image including a halo-defining portion app lied to said front surface of said base and having a highly visible first color, a transparent film having a bottom surface applied over said halo-defining portion and transitional target, indicia carried by an upper surface of said transparent film and juxtaposed with said halo-defining portion, said transitional target indicia being devoid of said first color and having a second color that contrasts with said first color for marking discrete regions of said transitional target image; each of said halo-defining portion and said transitional target indicia consisting of a respective non-dislodgeable permanent ink that remains attached to said base around a point of projectile impact on the transitional target image; and an exterior target image applied over said transitional target image, said exterior target image including a layer of dislodgeable ink having a third color that contrasts with said first color and exterior target indicia formed in said dislodgeable ink and registered with at least a portion of said transitional target indicia for marking discrete regions of said exterior target image, said exterior target image being devoid of said first color, whereby a projectile striking said target removes said dislodgeable ink of said exterior target image around a point of impact on said exterior target image, which exposes a portion of said transitional target image including any said transitional target indicia within said exposed portion of said transitional target image.
