Abstract

It comprises an impact resistant casing (1) having a frontal opening and means for removably fastening a target (2) covering such opening, the target (2) being of a sheet material through which projectiles can go and having an external face with a depicted motive to be shot. Electronic means are provided for detecting the position of impact on said target (2), comprising an electronic camera (3) arranged to obtain successive images of a face of target (2) after each shot, an image treating unit (4) for determining the geometric centre of the projectile at each impact from a treatment of the obtained images, and a data receiving and/or retransmitting centre (6,7) for displaying the results on a viewing screen (13, 14) and/or for retransmit them through a telecommunication network.
