The invention includes a number of shotgun shells having colored projectiles. When each shooter in a party of shooters utilize shotgun shells which have a projectiles of a color which is uniquely distinctive to that shooter then one is able to determine, by post-shooting inspection of an animate or inanimate target which was fired at by multiple shooters of said party, which of said shooters actually struck the target, how many times and at what place on said target The invention is therefore useful in accurately crediting each shooter for the accuracy of their shooting.

1. A first shot-gun shell for hunting a game animal which has an edible flesh of a known color, for determining whether a shooter, who discharged said shot-gun shell at a taken animal, actually struck the animal, and to facilitate locating projectiles from the shot-gun shell which are lodged in said flesh of said animal and thereby facilitate removal of said projectiles from said flesh prior to consumption, comprising: a head;a case;a primer;a powder charge;a plurality of metal projectiles having an etched outer surface and having a coating adhesively attached to said etched outer surface, wherein said coating is heat resistant; is sufficiently durable to remain visible after the projectiles have been discharged from a shot-gun, strike and embed in the flesh of said animal; is non-toxic to an animal who may be wounded with metal projectiles having said coating; is non-toxic to an animal who may eat metal projectiles having said coating; is non-harmful to the environment and has a color which is selected from the group of colors consisting of red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple and is chosen from said group of colors so as to be a color, which is different from the color of the flesh of the animal at which said shot-gun shell is to be discharged and also different from a color of projectiles of a second shot-gun shell, which is also different from the color of the flesh of the game animal to be fired at by another shooter; and,a closed end. 2. The shot-gun shell of claim 1 wherein said outer surface of said metal projectiles is etched by acid prior to adhesion of said coating thereto. 3. The shot-gun shell of claim 2 wherein oil, grease or other substances that may prevent good adhesion of said coating to the outer surface of said metal projectiles is removed prior to adhesion of said coating thereto. 4. A set of shot-gun shells, having closed ends, for shooting game animals having an edible flesh of a known color, for use by a party having a plurality of shooters, for determining, which of the shooters who discharged at least one shot-gun shell from said set of shot-gun shells at a taken animal, actually struck the animal, and to facilitate locating projectiles from said set of shot-guns shells in said flesh of said animal and thereby facilitate removal of said projectiles from said flesh prior to consumption, comprising: a. a first sub-set of shot-gun shells having at least one member shell, wherein each of the shot-gun shells of said first sub-set of shot-gun shells has a plurality of metal projectiles having an etched outer surface and having a coating adhesively attached to said etched outer surface, wherein said coating is heat resistant; is sufficiently durable to remain visible after the projectiles have been discharged from a shot-gun, strike and embed in the flesh of said animal; is non-toxic to an animal who may be wounded with metal projectiles having said coating; is non-toxic to an animal who may eat metal projectiles having said coating; is non-harmful to the environment and has a first color, wherein said first color is selected from the group of colors consisting of red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple and is chosen from said group of colors so as to be a color which different from the color of the flesh of the animal at which said first sub-set of shot-gun shells are to be discharged; and,b. a second sub-set of shot-gun shells having at least one member shell, wherein each of the shot-gun shells of said second sub-set of shot-gun shells has closed end and a plurality of metal projectiles having an etched outer surface and having a coating adhesively attached to said etched outer surface, wherein said coating is heat resistant; is sufficiently durable to remain visible after the projectiles have been discharged from a shot-gun, strike and embed in the flesh of said animal; is non-toxic to an animal who may be wounded with metal projectiles having said coating; is non-toxic to an animal who may eat metal projectiles having said coating; is non-harmful to the environment and has a second color, wherein said second color is selected from the group of colors consisting of red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple and is chosen from said group of colors so as to be a color which different from the color of the flesh of the animal at which said second set of shot-gun shells are to be discharged and also chosen so as to be different from said first color of the coating of said projectiles of said first sub-set of shot-gun shells. 5. The set of shot-gun shell of claim 4 wherein said outer surface of said metal projectiles of said set of shot-gun shells is etched by acid prior to adhesion of said coating thereto. 6. The set of shot-gun shells of claim 5 wherein oil, grease or other substances that may prevent good adhesion of said coating to the outer surface of said metal projectiles is removed prior to adhesion of said coating thereto. 7. A method for hunting game animals which have an edible flesh of a known color by a party of hunters, for determining whether shooters, who discharged at least one shot-gun shell at a taken animal, actually struck the animal, and to facilitate locating shot-gun projectiles lodged in said flesh of said animal and thereby facilitate removal of said projectiles from said flesh prior to consumption, comprising: a. forming a party containing a plurality of hunters;b. assigning a first hunter of said plurality of hunters with a set of shot-gun shells each of which has a closed end and having a plurality of metal projectiles having an etched outer surface and having a coating adhesively attached to said etched outer surface, wherein said coating is heat resistant; is sufficiently durable to remain visible after the projectiles have been discharged from a shot-gun, strike and embed in the flesh of said animal; is non-toxic to an animal who may be wounded with metal projectiles having said coating; is non-toxic to an animal who may eat metal projectiles having said coating; is non-harmful to the environment and has a first color, wherein said first color is selected from the group of colors consisting of red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple and is chosen from said group of colors so as to be a color which is different from the color of the flesh of the animal at which said shot-gun shell is to be discharged;c. assigning each of the other hunters of said plurality of hunters with a set of shot-gun shells having a plurality of metal projectiles having an etched outer surface and having a coating adhesively attached to said etched outer surface wherein said coating is heat resistant; is sufficiently durable to remain visible after the projectiles have been discharged from a shot-gun, strike and embed in the flesh of said animal; is non-toxic to an animal who may be wounded with metal projectiles having said coating; is non-toxic to an animal who may eat metal projectiles having said coating; is non-harmful to the environment and has a first color, wherein said first color is selected from the group of colors consisting of red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple and is chosen from said group of colors so as to be a color which is different from the color of the flesh of the animal at which said shot-gun shell is to be discharged, and is different than said first color and is also different that said color of said coating of said projectiles of the set of shot-gun shells assigned to any other hunter in said plurality of hunters; and,d. when a game animal is taken, examining the flesh of said animal to locate the projectiles therein, visually observing the color of the projectiles found in the flesh of the game animal to determine which of said hunters actually struck the target and removing the projectiles from the flesh of the game animal prior to consumption thereof. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein the outer surface of said metal projectiles of said set of shot-gun shells is etched by acid prior to adhesion of said coating thereto. 9. The method of claim 8 wherein oil, grease or other substances that may prevent good adhesion of said coating to the outer surface of said metal projectiles is removed prior to adhesion of said coating thereto.
