The invention relates to a flying target for target practice and shooting competitions, consisting of from a propeller, which has a breakthrough for the engagement of a rotating one for take-off purposes Has drive head of a starting device.

It has long been known to use the live pigeons used in sport shooting to replace artificial flying discs. Such an artificial target must have a twofold task fulfill. Once the target object must convincingly imitate the flight of a pigeon. On the other hand the target object must have facilities which clearly and incorruptibly indicate whether the shooter is a hit was successful or not.

On the one hand, it is known to use propellers as target objects to use. With target objects of this kind the desired flight ability can be achieved, But they lack a facility that clearly indicates a successful hit.

On the other hand, it has also become known to use heavy clay or metal projectiles for target purposes to be thrown into the air by means of a handle attached to them. These bodies behave however, like a ballistic projectile; they lack a convincing representation of the flight of birds Flight ability. In some cases these projectiles have also been built up from several parts; they can be equipped with explosive substances that have the task of impacting of a projectile to blast the parts apart. In the case of projectiles of the latter type In addition to the lack of flight ability, there is also the danger of handling them.

The invention has set itself the task of eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages of the known target objects to eliminate. The object of the invention is to develop a flying disc that the Convincingly mimics the flight of a bird and clearly indicates a successful hit.

According to the invention, this is achieved in the case of the flying disc of the type mentioned at the beginning, that a special indicator disc is attached to the propeller by means of a detachable fastening device is attached and at the foot of the propeller wing openings for receiving drive fingers of the head of the starting device are provided, all in such an arrangement that the Fastening device after a bullet hit ineffective and thereby the indicator disc from the Propeller is detachable.

The invention is explained below by way of example with reference to the drawing.

F i g. 3 is a side view of the flying disc of FIG. 1, with the two parts of the same assembled and the left part of the figure is shown in axial section.

The flying target according to the invention for target practice and competitions of the clay pigeon shooting type has the following parts:

a) an indicator disc 1 of normal size, which has the shape of a circular cap, the stepped bottom of which is surrounded by a cylindrical lateral portion la; the display disc consists z. B. made of plastic and is manufactured by compression molding;

b) a propeller 2, the wings of which are rigidly connected to a hub 3 in the example shown, which is provided with devices for placing on the throwing device and z. B. has a central portion with a circular hole 4, which on the rotating head 5 of the in F i g. 3 visible throwing device fits; this middle section is over with the roots of the propeller blades
