TARGET LABEL ASSEMBLY
An improved target label for shooting that includes at least one toner layer defining an image of a target, superimposed over a colored substrate having a color different from the toner layer, and an ink layer underlying the toner layer. When a projectile strikes and penetrates the target, the ink and toner layer displaces and scatters over an area surrounding the point of penetration, exposing the underlying colored substrate layer. The scattering of toner particles visually resembles gun powder and visually simulates damage over an area wider than the point of penetration by the projectile.

SHOOTING TARGET
A shooting target includes a target main body that is a substantially plate-shaped body and serves as a target; an auxiliary portion; and a joining portion configured to join the target main body and the auxiliary portion, wherein the auxiliary portion has an auxiliary portion main body protruded from an outer peripheral end surface of the target main body, and the joining portion separably joins the target main body and the auxiliary portion main body.
Clay Target Shooting System
A target is described that includes a plurality of clay targets and a clay target connector having a plurality of clamping ends. Each clamping end is releasably connected to a clay target. A target support structure is described that includes a tension line and a first and second support leg. The tension line is suspended between the first and second support leg with a horizontal tension. First and second guy lines are connected to first and second support legs. A target is suspended from the tension line. The target includes a plurality of clay targets and a clay target connector. The clay target connector includes a plurality of clamping ends. Each clamping end of the plurality of clamping ends is releasably connected to a clay target of the plurality of clay targets. A method to suspend a target is also described.
SIMULATED FIREARM WITH TARGET ACCURACY DETECTION, AND RELATED METHODS AND SYSTEMS
A simulated firearm includes a body, a camera, a memory, and a processor. The body has a handle, a trigger, and a barrel portion. The barrel portion defines a shooting axis. The camera is coupled to the body and aligned with the shooting axis. The camera is configured to capture an image in response to actuation of the trigger. The memory is coupled to the body and stores marker data corresponding to at least one target marker. The processor is coupled to the body and configured to determine whether a portion of the image captured by the camera matches any one or more of the at least one target marker.
Configurable Three-Dimensional Target
A target for use in firearm training or target practice. In one embodiment the target is constructed out of a unitary sheet of carboard having anterior and posterior sides, and a plurality of interlocking members. The cardboard can be folded along a center line to bring the anterior and posterior side of the carboard into an overlapping alignment. Once in overlapping alignment the interlocking members of the carboard can be mated to produce a three-dimensional emulation.

Target For Shooting Sports With 3D Visual Effect
Various examples of a target for shooting sports with three-dimensional (3D) visual effect are described. In one example, a carrier has a surface on which a background object and a target object are displayed. The background object is depicted in two colors such that, when viewed through a pair of color-coded anaglyph glasses by a user with both eyes, the background object appears to be 3D to the user. The target object is depicted in at least a dark color. In another example, a carrier has a surface on which a background object and a target object are displayed. The target object is depicted in two colors such that, when viewed through a pair of color-coded anaglyph glasses by a user with both eyes, the target object appears to be 3D to the user. The background object is depicted in at least a dark color.

Durable Articulated Joints and Mannequins Made Therewith
Embodiments of the disclosure include mannequins and parts thereof. The disclosure includes descriptions of articulated joints for mannequins, specifically, for positioning and posing mannequins in one or more positions. The disclosure also includes descriptions of retail mannequins and target or tactical mannequins incorporating one or more articulated joints. In the case of a tactical mannequin, a tactical mannequin incorporating one or more articulated joints may have advantages in being able to withstand (e.g., maintain structural and mechanical integrity) under extreme conditions, all the while being cost-effective and being able to be easily re-positioned. Retail mannequins incorporating one or more articulated joints may weigh less than conventional mannequins while being easily repositionable and durable. Another aspect of the present disclosure describes methods of manufacturing mannequins incorporating one or more articulated joints, such as, for example, in a cold rotational molding process.
