Plastic and metal target pigeon

摘要

A target pigeon has a base part comprising a generally flat web formed at a web axis with a central throughgoing hole and having a pair of diametrically opposite ends on which are mounted diametrically opposite vanes that are tipped propeller-fashion to each other. A pair of diametrically opposite holding tabs are provided on the ends of the webs and directed generally axially and tipped inwardly toward each other. The entire web has a relatively great mass, normally in excess of 40 g. A cup-shaped witness cap having a relatively small mass in the neighborhood of approximately 4 g. has an axially directed and substantially circular annular rim that is centered on the cap axis and is formed with a pair of diametrically opposite lips in turn each formed with an outwardly open notch. This rim is engageable with the ends of the web inwardly of the tabs with the tabs fitting in the notches. Arcuate sections of the cap are exposed to either sides of the relatively narrow ringless web.
