A spherical object designed for target practice automatically repairs minor surface damage. For instance, a projectile impacting this type of target might leave a small indentation that subsequently disappears, allowing for repeated use without significant degradation. This characteristic distinguishes it from traditional targets requiring frequent replacement.
Durable target systems offer significant advantages in training environments. The capacity for automatic repair minimizes downtime and reduces the logistical burden of replacing damaged targets. This enhanced longevity translates to cost savings over time and ensures consistent training conditions. Historically, targets have required manual patching or replacement, limiting practice efficiency and increasing expense. This innovative approach represents a significant advancement in target technology.
