HOLLOW SPHERICAL ICE BODIES AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A hollow body of ice for use as a target, the ice body being sufficiently frangible to shatter when struck by a fired pellet. A method of making the hollow ice bodies comprising introducing a measure of water into a mold cavity so as to cover substantially the entire surface of the mold cavity with water. The water is then cooled to a temperature below its freezing point to form a thin shell of ice adjacent to the mold cavity surface. The mold is then opened and the shell of ice is removed from the mold cavity.
