A safety lawn dart game including safety lawn darts, a caddy and targets. The lawn dart includes an elongated shaft, a plurality of flights extending outwardly from the shaft and a head assembly having a weighted, spring biased head portion. The target may include a target hoop or electronic target. The caddy carries and stores the safety darts and targets in a convenient manner to keep all of the game components together.

A clock is adapted to operate in a first mode and a secondary mode. The clock includes a body having a display surface. When the clock operates in the first mode, the clock displays a time information on the display surface. When the clock operates in the secondary mode, the clock acts as a dart and receives at least one external signal. The clock displays at least one interactive information on the display surface according to the external signal.

A retrievable target assembly is provided that comprises a retrievable target and a string. The retrievable target includes a pyramid shaped portion from which extends an enlarged portion. The pyramid shaped portion includes a vertex portion and the string has a pulling end and a connecting end and the connecting end is secured to the vertex portion. The user throws the retrievable target in any desired direction and as far as desired. Then the user tugs on the string such that the vertex portion faces the user. The user shoots arrows into the retrievable target and when done, pulls the string to return the retrievable target so that the arrows can be removed from the target. The user removes the arrows and repeats the process again. The user may be sitting, standing, or standing in a tree stand. The retrievable target is differently shaped in other preferred embodiments.
