Céltáblája

Céltáblája is a term of Hungarian origin that can be translated as "target board" or "target face." It refers to the surface onto which projectiles are fired for the purpose of scoring or practicing marksmanship. These boards are commonly used in shooting sports, hunting simulations, and recreational archery.

The design of a céltáblája varies depending on its intended use. For firearms, targets often feature concentric circles or specific patterns of squares and other shapes to help shooters gauge accuracy and distance. Archery targets, on the other hand, typically consist of a series of colored rings, with the center representing the highest score. The materials used for céltáblája can range from paper and cardboard to more durable substances like metal or specially designed foam for repeated use.

The primary function of a céltáblája is to provide a visual reference for aiming and to indicate the effectiveness of a shot. Scoring is usually determined by where the projectile strikes the board, with different zones assigned different point values. This allows for competitive events and the tracking of individual improvement. The development and standardization of céltáblája have been integral to the evolution of shooting sports and the practice of safe and effective marksmanship.
