Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system and method for shooting target arrows. It finds its application in the field of archery.
- the present invention overcomes all or part of the disadvantages of traditional archery practices.
- it proposes a new technique to limit the stroke of the arrows and shorten the distances that must go through the archer for the collection of arrows.
- Another advantage of the invention in a preferred embodiment, is to greatly eliminate the risk of accidents with arrows having a protective tip.
- the invention relates to a system for shooting target arrows comprising at least one arrows firing device, at least one target and at least one arrow, characterized in that it comprises a wall of reflection and that the arrow has a head portion, the reflection wall and the head portion being configured to at least partially absorb the energy of the impact and return it to return the arrow towards the firing device when the Head portion impacts the reflection wall instead of the target.
- the system is such that:
- the target is configured to damp more impact of the head portion than the reflection wall.
- the reflection wall is a substantially vertical wall wall.
- the head portion comprises an elastically deformable end piece and connection means to an arrow rod.
- the tip is made of a flexible plastic material.
- the tip is made of polymer foam.
- it comprises a machine for launching the at least one target, said machine being configured to launch the target in front of the reflection wall relative to the firing device.
- the machine is configured to launch the at least one target in a vertical plane.
- the vertical plane is closer to the reflection wall than to the shooting device.
- the reflection wall and the vertical plane are parallel and spaced a distance of between 1 meter and 3 meters and wherein the firing device and the vertical plane are spaced a distance between 7 meters and 1 1 meters.
- the reflection wall has a height of between 7 meters and 12 meters.
- the invention also relates to a target arrow firing method for archer comprising a step of firing an arrow towards a target, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
- this method is such that:
- the arrow is returned at a distance between 50% and 85% of the distance between the reflection wall and the archer.
- the target is launched prior to the shooting stage so as to evolve in front of the reflection wall relative to the archer during the shooting stage.
- the target is launched at a height greater than 2 meters and less than the height of the reflection wall.
- the system according to the invention allows an archer 1 using an arrows firing device 2 to operate a firing step on a target identified by the mark 5.
- the firing device 2 can be a arc of conventional design or any other weapon allowing the projection of arrows or darts.
- Crossbows are for example also concerned.
- the term "archer” refers here to any user of such a shooting device 2.
- FIG. 6 An example of a usable arrow 3 is shown in FIG. 6 in more detail with a rod 1 0 of variable size and a head portion 4 provided with an end piece here in non-spherical non-ionic shape making it possible to form a low-hazard assembly in case possible accident.
- the head portion 4 has a portion at least partially exposed at the tip of the boom 3 of elastically deformable material.
- a polymeric foam plastic may be suitable. It is easy to understand that the head portion thus produced can absorb a portion of the energy generated by the impact of the boom 3 on an obstacle. This energy can be restored at least partially because of the elastic deformability of the material used for the head portion 4.
- connection of the head portion 4 on the rod 10 can be effected by connecting means and in particular by fitting into force or by a threaded connection.
- a tail is present at the other end of the rod 1 0, called the distal end 1 1, a tail is present and a positioning system on the rope of the firing device 2.
- This set 1 1 may be of current design.
- the arrow 3 may be of a predetermined color. It may for example be the head portion 4.
- they can be identified or identified sets of arrows 3 in particular to dedicate a color to an archer 1. It is therefore easier to count the number of successful hits per user.
- a reflection wall 6 is a wall wall provided with a rigid outer surface, for example concrete, and advantageously oriented in a vertical plane.
- the reflection wall 6 may have a useful surface, opposite the archer 1, of substantially rectangular shape with a width of several meters and a height for example between 7 and 12 meters. These values are nonlimiting, however, because the reflection wall 6 can be adapted according to the space available, especially in a room.
- the target 5 is fixed relative to the reflection wall 6 and is for example simply fixed to the surface of the wall 6.
- the target 5 is movable in front of the reflection wall 6 as can be seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4. It will be understood that in this embodiment the target 5 evolves between the reflection wall 6 and the firing device 2 carried by the archer 1.
- Target type 5 is not limited by the invention. However, advantageously, at least one target 5 will be used in the form of a cylinder portion which may for example have a diameter ranging from 1 to 40 centimeters and advantageously from 25 to 33 centimeters with a thickness of between 3 and 10 centimeters.
- the target 5 thus forming a kind of puck is preferably made of polymer material in one or more layers. For example, a polymer foam with a density of between 25 and 160 kg / m 3 gives satisfaction.
- the faces of a puck are substantially flat, which does not exclude certain reliefs in particular to improve the visibility of the target during its movement, to improve its stability or otherwise.
- the target 5 is projected so as to operate from bottom to top and from top to bottom in a vertical or substantially vertical plane.
- a slight inclination may be produced especially when it is desired to modify the projection effect and vary the difficulty of the shot.
- the faces of the target 5 are substantially parallel to the reflection wall 6 during the movement.
- the target 5 is launched in view of the archer 1 at a distance substantially between 7 and 1 1 meters represented by the dimension L3 in Figure 1.
- the spacing between the archer 1 and the reflection wall 6 shown L1 may be substantially equivalent to a ten meters.
- the length L 2 representing the spacing between the target casting zone 5 and the reflection wall 6 is for example between 1 and 3 meters.
- the overall height of the reflection wall 6 is marked H1.
- the target 5 is projected so as to have a maximum height H2 less than the height H1. For example, a margin of 2 to 3 meters between H1 and H2 can be preserved.
- FIG. 1 shows a launching machine 7 comprising a base in the form of a carriage surmounted by a launching zone provided with a launching arm 9 itself surmounted by a barrel 8 allowing the superimposed storage of targets. 5.
- a throwing machine 7 is more clearly visible in Figure 7 at which the machine is partially shown in side view.
- the barrel 8 comprises at least one column for the stack of targets 5 whereas several columns are shown in the variant of FIG.
- a curvilinear surface makes it possible to receive a target 5 in a substantially vertical position for projection by means of an arm 9 mounted for example in a rotational manner along a substantially horizontal axis.
- the machine is equipped with a transfer system for delivering a target 5 to the arm 9. Any machine design can be used according to the invention.
- the throw can also be manual.
- the reflection wall 6 is advantageously made of rigid material so as to produce as efficient a rebound as possible of the boom 3 equipped with the elastically deformable head portion 4.
- the impact surface of the arrow 3 on the reflection wall 6 is also elastically deformable or elastically deformable in replacement of the elastic deformability of the head portion 4.
- the general principle remains that the arrow 3 undergoes a rebound after an impact on the reflection wall 6.
- FIGS. 1 to 5 an exemplary implementation of the method of the invention and use of its system is given below.
- a target 5 has been projected by the machine 7 and the archer 1 has made a step of firing an arrow 3 through the device 2.
- Preferential arrangements are made so that the target reaches a height level greater than the firing height of the arrow 3.
- the arrow 3 is directed towards the target 5 but fails to touch it, the archer having shot too low. As a result, the arrow 3 moves towards the reflection wall 6.
- the arrow 3 descends substantially in front of the archer 1 at a distance that can be adjusted according to the shooting conditions and the elastic deformation properties allowing the rebound.
- the system may be configured so that the arrow is returned at a distance between 50% and 85% of the distance between the reflection wall 6 and the firing device 2.
- a wall of rigid reflection (its surface is hard) at a distance of 10 meters from the archer 1 and the launching machine 7 so that it projects the targets 5 at a distance of 1, 5 meters in front of the reflection wall 6.
- an arc whose power is voluntarily limited to 26 pounds and an arrow 3 having a 65 mm diameter diameter spherical head portion 4 of elastic polymer foam, it is possible to reach an initial speed of arrow 3 of the order of 30 to 40 meters per second.
- the archer 1 has managed to touch the target 5.
- the target 5 absorbing more the shock than the reflection wall 6, the arrow 3 is strongly braked and goes down again quickly. .
- This is shown in FIG. 5 with a fall of the arrow 3 substantially behind the throwing machine 7 close to the reflection wall 6.
- the fact that the targets 5 are projected further increases the damping phenomenon of the movement of the arrow 3.
- Figure 5 shows that it is easy to discriminate arrows 3 having been fired successfully and arrows 3 from a failure.
- the successful shots are indeed revealed by arrows near the reflection wall 6 while the missed shots are revealed by arrows having bounced and returned close to the archer 1.
