1. A reusable projectile impact reflecting target for day or night use comprising in combination:
- a target base and a primary target label,said target base comprising sheet of backing material substantially forming an overall shape, said target base having an outer surface with a target outline imprinted thereon,said primary target label comprising a bottom paper layer and a top plastic film layer,said bottom paper layer comprising a sheet of paper having a forward and a rear surface, said rear surface adapted to be releasably mounted within said target outline, said forward surface having a colored photoreflective ink thereon,said plastic film layer comprising a transparent strip of plastic having a front and back surface, said back surface, adapted to be mounted on said forward surface of said paper layer, said front surface defining a target image of contrasting colored image contrasting in color to the color of said photoreflective ink, said contrasting ink being adhered to said front surface but not being permanently bonded thereto,whereby when said primary target label is releasably mounted on said target base, the penetration of a projectile causes said contrasting colored ink to be removed from the plastic film layer front surface point of penetration exposing a clear area larger than the penetration point of the projectile, thereby exposing the photoreflective ink paper layer.
