Bullet Impact Locator

Abstract

It is impossible to score the shots without target markings on metal targets. If target markings were on metal targets the markings would get destroyed with bullet strikes. Stickers with markings are used to see the score on metal targets. Placing stickers on metal targets are difficult to align. Stickers are expensive and get destroyed with bullets. The reusable Bullet Impact Locator is a tool used by marksmen. The Locator is a transparent plate with target markings. Aligning means on the Locator aligns the markings to the target. With bullet imprints on the target, place Locator in front contacting the target. The Locator positions the markings where metal targets should have markings. View through Locator to score the shots. After the score is determined, spray paint the target. Paint remains wet between each string of shots. A plurality of spacers prevents markings on Locator from getting stained with wet paint.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A bullet impact locator is a tool comprising of
 a transparent predetermined plate with   a predetermined target markings inscribed on either side of said transparent predetermined plate, said predetermined target markings is of the kind targets would normally have and   an aligning means located on said transparent predetermined plate that during usage are placed at a dedicated location on an unmarked metal target to align said predetermined target markings at specified locations on said unmarked metal target where said unmarked metal target would normally have markings and the transparency of said transparent predetermined plate allows a user to view the location of a plurality of bullet imprints on said unmarked metal target to determine the accuracy of said plurality of bullet imprints that were left after shooting on said unmarked metal target.   
     
     
         2 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 1  further including said aligning means as
 a pair of dots that are inscribed on either side of said transparent predetermined plate and said pair of dots are used to align said bullet impact locator to said unmarked metal target. 
 
     
     
         3 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 1  further including said aligning means as
 an outline mark the same size and shape as a partial outline of said unmarked metal target, said outline mark is used as said aligning means for visually aligning said transparent predetermined plate to said partial outline of said unmarked metal target. 
 
     
     
         4 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 1  wherein areas of said transparent predetermined plate can be removed to prevent interference with a hanging means of said unmarked metal target. 
     
     
         5 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 1  wherein said predetermined target markings are an oval markings the same as the oval markings of standard substrate targets. 
     
     
         6 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 1  further including
 a spacer of at least one, located and attached on a transparent plate aft of said transparent predetermined plate said spacer facing a metal target front of said unmarked metal target to prevent said transparent plate aft from coming in contact with the wet paint that is always sprayed prior to the impact of said plurality of bullet imprints on said unmarked metal target. 
 
     
     
         7 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 1  further including said aligning means as
 an aligning left member and 
 an aligning right member located on said transparent plate aft of said transparent predetermined plate and during usage, said aligning left member and said aligning right member are facing said metal target front of said unmarked metal target and when said aligning left member and said aligning right member are in contact with said dedicated location of said unmarked metal target it limits the motion of said bullet impact locator and aligns said predetermined target markings at specified locations on said unmarked metal target where said unmarked metal target would normally have markings thus allowing said user to have position repeatability on two orthogonal axis thus increasing the accuracy of analyzing said plurality of bullet imprints that were previously made on said unmarked metal target. 
 
     
     
         8 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 7  further including
 an aligning lower member attached on said transparent plate aft facing said metal target front and to one side of said predetermined target markings and during usage limiting the lateral inward motion of said bullet impact locator in relation to said unmarked metal target when said aligning lower member is making contact with a lower contact on said unmarked metal target, allowing said user to have position repeatability on three orthogonal axis thus increasing the accuracy of analyzing said plurality of bullet imprints that were previously made on said unmarked metal target. 
 
     
     
         9 . A bullet impact locator is a tool comprising of
 a transparent predetermined plate with   a predetermined target markings inscribed on either side of said transparent predetermined plate with said predetermined target markings of the kind targets would normally have and   an aligning left member and   an aligning right member, located on the transparent plate aft of said transparent predetermined plate and when a user is analyzing a plurality of bullet imprints previously left on an unmarked metal circular arc target said aligning left member and said aligning right member are facing the metal target front of said unmarked metal circular arc target and said aligning left member and said aligning right member are limiting the motion of said bullet impact locator in relation to said unmarked metal circular arc target when said aligning left member and said aligning right member are in contact with a rim of said unmarked metal circular arc target making said predetermined target markings concentric to a center of arc of said unmarked metal circular arc target and the transparency of said transparent predetermined plate allows said user to see through said transparent predetermined plate the location of said plurality bullet imprints on said unmarked metal circular arc target to help determine the accuracy of said plurality bullet imprints.   
     
     
         10 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 9  wherein
 a circular markings are said predetermined target markings and during usage said circular markings are concentric to the center of arc of said unmarked metal circular arc target. 
 
     
     
         11 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 9  wherein areas of said transparent predetermined plate can be removed to prevent interference with a hanging means of said unmarked metal circular arc target. 
     
     
         12 . The bullet impact locator as described in  claim 9  further including
 a spacer of at least one, located and attached on said transparent plate aft of said transparent predetermined plate said spacer facing said metal target front of said unmarked metal circular arc target to prevent said transparent plate aft from coming in contact with the wet paint which was sprayed prior to the impact of said plurality of bullet imprints on said unmarked metal circular arc target.
