The retained type of floating target consists of a target body and a target paddle/latch assembly. During play, the latching end of the
target paddle is inserted into a hole in the underside of the target body, and rotated so that the rotary latch is engaged with the target
body. The target is held upright above the water surface to drain any water from the target body. The target is set afloat on the water
surface. Striking the target paddle off-center with a vortex ring causes the paddle to rotate such that the rotary latch is disengaged from
the target body, thereby allowing the target paddle/latch assembly to separate from the target body and sink into the water. The target
body may or may not remain floating on the water surface after a strike. Fins on the body help to prevent the body from rotating when the
target paddle is twisting due to having been struck.
