A system for identifying targets wherein a projectile includes one or more sensors that gather sensor data about the environment and send the gathered data to a computing device. The computing device identifies the target by comparing the gathered sensor data to digital sensor signatures known to correspond to different types of objects. The system is also capable of identifying changes in a status of a target based on a change in the sensor data.

The present invention relates to a lightweight slingshot tossing game that is easily transported, setup, and stored. In this game, at least two game vessels are positioned at a specific distance from one another. Each game vessel is comprised of a base and a launch frame having a sling shot. The game vessel is ideally collapsible to facilitate storage and transportation of the game. When assembled, each game vessel is open at the top creating a target or basket in which projectiles can be aimed. The face of the game vessel has additional target receptacles allowing the player to score additional points.

The invention provides a magnetic painting template for a shooting target, which has an improved template structure and is composed of a plurality of concentric graphical bodies and linear bodies radiating outward from the center of the circle, wherein blank areas among the concentric graphical bodies are to be painted for suiting target plates with different specifications, and a magnetic member is additionally mounted so that the template is adsorbed on a target plate by the magnetic member, thus a vertical or planar target plate can be quickly fixed without manual support, avoiding the movement of the template and spraying errors due to human factors.

A shooting range facility that is for recreational or sporting purposes includes a target support plate, which can be tilted according to several different possible inclinations with respect to a reference plane, and at least one target representation intended to be displayed in a plane of the target support plate. Each target representation has several different displayable deformations, respectively associated with the several different possible inclinations, these different deformations being designed so that the orthogonal projections thereof in the reference plane are all identical when they are respectively displayed in the plane of the target support plate according to the inclinations with which they are respectively associated.

A long life live-fire target having a front, back, top, and bottom, the front including a bullet strike zone, the target constructed of a ferrous steel material. The target further includes at least one mount, the at least one mount and target formed as a single unitary structure, the at least one mount extending angularly away from the front into a mounting position, such that the at least one mount is positioned so that a bullet fired at the bullet strike zone is not likely to strike the at least one mount. The mounting position is formed when either the target is in an annealed state or the target is constructed of a soft ferrous steel. After the mounting position is formed, the target is heat treated to a hardened state. Cryogenic freezing of the target may also be performed followed by a tempering cycle.

Self-healing targets, methods of manufacturing self-healing targets, and methods of utilizing self-healing targets. The self-healing targets include a target body and a target zone. The target body is defined by a sheet of resilient polymeric body material and defines a front surface, which is configured to face toward a shooter, and a back surface, which is configured to face away from the shooter. The target zone is on the front surface of the target body and is at least partially defined by a surface feature of the target body to provide a visual indication of the target zone to the shooter. The methods of utilizing include impacting the target with a projectile to form a splatter mark and rejuvenating the target by coating the splatter mark with a coating material. The methods of manufacturing include forming a target body and forming a surface feature within the target body.
