Patent Images
1. An illuminable shooting target comprising:
- a body having a user-visible target surface which in use faces a shooter,a light-emitting element associated with the user-visible target surface;
a light-transmitting portion which is positioned at or adjacent to the user-visible target surface and communicates with the light-emitting element to output light emitted therefrom; and
a hit detector which controls the light-emitting element in response to an impact, characterised in that the light-transmitting portion is adapted to at least in part elastically deform to accommodate a projectile therein whilst maintaining communicability with the light-emitting element.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a partial or fully self-healing illumination system connected to or directly on a shooting target used for practice, competition, or qualification. More specifically, this invention relates to a system that uses a light and a self-healing reflector configured to project light towards the shooter while allowing partial or full pass-through projectile strikes.
