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.

An explosive gunnery target apparatus having a separable rocket member responsive to being accurately struck by a gunnery projectile to explosively launch comprising: A. a rocket apparatus comprising: (1) a body means defining a interior chamber means therewithin and an inlet means defined therein in fluid flow communication with respect to said interior chamber means, said interior chamber means adapted to receive and retain pressurized fluid therewithin; (2) a cap means detachably securable with respect to said body means positioned extending over said inlet means defined therein for selectively controlling fluid flow therethrough, said cap means including a nozzle means defining a nozzle bore means extending therethrough in fluid flow communication with said interior chamber means; (3) a nozzle valve means positioned within said nozzle bore means to selectively control fluid flow through said nozzle bore means and said inlet means into said interior chamber means; (4) a target zone defining the desired area to be struck by the gunnery projectile comprising: (a) a first target area including a portion of said body means in an area adjacent said inlet means defined therein; (b) a second target area defined on said cap means and said nozzle means, said first target area and said second target area being capable of being penetrated by a gunnery projectile to facilitate expulsion of pressurized fluid outwardly from said interior chamber means causing explosive propulsion of said rocket apparatus responsive to projectile penetration of said target zone; B. a mounting means for holding at least one of said rocket apparatus therein to facilitate impacting thereof by a projectile; and C. a deflector guide means positionable adjacent said target zone for facilitating striking thereof by a gunnery projectile.
