Reactive targets and target frames are provided that react to being impacted by a projectile in such a manner as to cause longitudinal movement and/or rotation of the target frame. The movement, in turn, exposes different primary targets and/or a secondary target(s) to the participant. Participants can take either offensive shots against the competitor's targets or defensive shots to protect their targets from being impacted by the competitor.

A computer implemented personified sporting goal apparatus, system, method and/or computer program product may provide electronically and programmably controlled personification attributes to a sporting or intermediary goal. Certain embodiments include robotic, animatronically moveable appendages, emotions, and/or gestures, via audio, visual, or enhanced features. A personified sporting goal apparatus can include: sporting goal device, including processor(s); memory coupled to the processor; input or output device(s) coupled to the processor; a sporting goal; a personified feature, attribute, or movement; and user interface coupled to the device, including: a display device, the input device, the output device, a keyboard, or a touchscreen, and is configured to: enable a user to interact with the sporting goal device; receive a selection of a sporting goal routine; or receive instructions to control the sporting goal device. Embodiments include a robot, display(s) and/or speech bubbles.

An archery target may allow target practice and/or simulate the shape of one or more animals. In various implementations, archery targets include a target body, a frame, and/or an overlay. A target body may include a first aiming zone, which protrudes from a first surface of the target body, and a second aiming zone, which protrudes from a second opposing surface. In some implementations, the first aiming zone and/or the second aiming zone may be off center. In some implementations, each aiming zone may be associated with an animal or group of animals. The orientation of the target body may be altered to select an aiming zone of the target body based upon user preference, in some implementations. The overlay may have shape similar to a predetermined animal. The overlay may be replaceable. A frame may at least partially support the target body and/or the overlay.

A multi-zone target with each zone dedicated to a single shooter. This allows each shooter to track their aim and be able to know what they need to work on. A single player may also use a target designed for multiple players to maximize their practice and reduce the amount of target papers used. The dedicated zones have different target designs (art, shapes, objects, etc.) on each target sheet.

An apparatus for generating a vitals target may include a processor, an output device, and a non-transitory storage medium. The output device is communicatively connected to the processor. The non-transitory storage medium may include a number of module. The number of modules may include a target distance identify module, a target animal identify module, a vital zone determine module, a first distance identify module, and a target calculate module. The target distance identify module that identifies a target set distance for a target configuration. The target animal identify module identifies an animal being simulated. The first distance identify module identifying a first distance being simulated at the target set distance. The target calculate module rendering the vital zone for a target distance. The output generate module causing the output device to generate a vitals target.

Disclosed is a multi-section target system configured to absorb the kinetic energy of a less lethal round fired at the target to minimize or prevent ricochets. The sections of the target are connected by connectors configured to both absorb some of the kinetic energy as well as transfer some of the kinetic energy to the other sections of the target. An entrapment system may be located in front of the target that becomes entangled with the round thereby further reducing the round's kinetic energy. The entrapment system may comprise vertical fingers that engage with the round as it first passes through the entrapment fingers then as it rebounds from the target after impact.
