A target pigeon is made of high-impact material, formed with a ring-shaped hub spanned by a cross-member and a circular wall having a convex outer face and provided with a level bottom edge and with an uneven top edge. The maximum height of this wall coincides with the location at which the hub is connected with two flying wings of the propeller-type, from which location the wall height diminishes circumferentially. A cap is detachably connected to the upper edge of the hub. The cap has a cylindrical skirt the lower edge of which follows the uneven pattern of the top edge of said hub. Ties may be provided between the hub and the cap in order to allow for the detachment of the cap from the hub, when a shot strikes the cap, but suitable to prevent their complete separation. The cap is connected to the hub by means of at least two legs carried by the cap and a corresponding number of slots formed in the hub, easy-disconnection contact surfaces being provided therebetween. The pigeon is thus capable of being recovered following the shooting and the cap to be reconnected with the hub, in order for the pigeon to be repeatedly launched, fired and recovered.
