ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for providing immediate and dramatic indication of the accurate striking of a target with a gunnery projectile such as a bullet which includes a rocket apparatus with a body defining a chamber therein for holding fluid such as air and water under pressure. A cap is positioned over an inlet defined in the body and includes a nozzle and a one-way nozzle valve positioned therein. A target zone is indicated on the lower portion of the body and the cap such that when it is struck by a projectile it will launch upwardly indicating a target having been struck. A mounting apparatus is included for providing one or more of the rocket apparatus at an elevated mounted location. A deflector apparatus may be included for increasing accuracy for inexperienced marksmen and a descent control device is included for enhancing the gunnery target display.
