Reusable shooting target assembly

Abstract

A shooting target assembly that can be reused multiple times. The shooting target assembly includes a base having a front face and a rear face. The front face of the base having one or more layers of pressure-sensitive coating. The pressure-sensitive coating is such as an area of the coating receiving the impact of the bullet hitting the shooting target can change in color, thus showing the point on the shooting target being hit by the bullet.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shooting target assembly comprises:
 a shooting target, the shooting target comprises:   a base having a front face; and   one or more layers of a pressure-sensitive coating on the front face of the base, the pressure-sensitive coating configured such as an area of the pressure-sensitive coating impacted by a bullet hit deforms and changes in color from a first color to a second color, wherein the impact area indicates the point on the shooting target at which the bullet hit.   
     
     
         2 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intensity of the second color is proportional to the energy of the bullet with which the bullet hit the impact area. 
     
     
         3 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the pressure-sensitive coating is further configured such as the impact area reforms after a predetermined duration, and the color reverts from the second color to the first color. 
     
     
         4 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein the intensity of the second color remains substantially the same for at least sufficient duration for an observer to notice the impact area. 
     
     
         5 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the shooting target assembly further comprising:
 a camera configured to capture an image of the shooting target;   one or more sensors coupled to the shooting target and configured to sense an impact on the shooting target by a bullet; and   a control unit operably coupled to the one or more sensors, the control unit configured to:
 receive a signal from the one or more sensors, wherein the signal indicates the impact of the bullet on the shooting target, and 
 upon receiving the signal, triggers the camera to capture the image. 
   
     
     
         6 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein the control unit is further configured to:
 receive the image from the camera, and   transmit the image on a display.   
     
     
         7 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the control unit is further configured to:
 analyses the image to detect a shape of the impact area and an intensity of the second color, and   determine the energy and trajectory of the bullet hitting the impact area.   
     
     
         8 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the shooting target is divided into distinguishable regions. 
     
     
         9 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the distinguishable regions are having a different color. 
     
     
         10 . The shooting target assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the base is made of rigid and durable material.
