Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0227261A1] The invention comprises a target pigeon of the type which is used in sport shooting such as trap shooting, and which is fired in such a manner that the propeller-shaped wings (10) of the target pigeon move it in an unpredictable trajectory. The invention moreover comprises a method of launching target pigeons. An object of the present invention is to provide a target pigeon which has a very low effective height when it is stacked. Another object is to provide a target pigeon and a method of launching the target pigeon, where it is not necessary to orient the pigeon relative to the retaining and force-transferring means on the launching machine. The novel aspects of the invention comprise interconnecting the wing part (4) and the witness part (6) structurally, and applying energy for launching via the witness part (6), thereby ensuring that the witness part (6) can impart both strength and rigidity to the target pigeon, which may be used for a saving on the wing part (4) so that the total costs are reduced. When energy for launching is applied via the witness part (6) it is moreover ensured that there is no need for parts of the wing part (4) to be present around the centre of the target pigeon, but instead only parts of the witness part (6). This makes it easier to see the witness part (6) from all angles and minimizes the shade effect of the wing part (4), just as the effective height for stacking is made as low as possible.
