Described herein are devices, systems and methods for creating an archery dart game using a dart frame affixed to an archery target of various shapes and configurations for use with a bow and arrow, throwing axes, or other thrown or shot implements to allow the users to enjoy the game of darts in a nontraditional manner in the outdoors or other venues.

The present invention relates to a partial or fully self-healing illumination system connected to or directly on a shooting target used for practice, competition, or qualification. More specifically, this invention relates to a system that uses a light and a self-healing reflector configured to project light towards the shooter while allowing partial or full pass-through projectile strikes.

A hit-indicating target comprising; a layer of polymer material, having a first side and a second side; and a first coating of thermally activated pigment applied to the first side of the layer of polymer material, wherein the first coating has an activation temperature.

A firearm target is specially adapted to provide a superior “locked in” sight picture when viewed through firearm sights. Variations having different sized and spaced elements are provided to match different sighting systems and ranges. The elements can include a main wedge, a chisel pattern, foreground and background grids, and foreground and background borderlines. The chisel vertical spacing can be selected to match crosshair thickness and the targeting distance. Aligning the crosshairs to the gap can significantly or completely hide the gap. Misaligning the crosshairs to the gap causes the gap to become more visible because of the gap's highly noticeable and contrasting colors. The target thereby provides a lock-on functionality for a marksman.

A three-dimensional target is provided of molded pulp material that is lightweight, eco-friendly (e.g., of recyclable material), low cost, and that can be used anywhere traditional two-dimensional paper targets are utilized (e.g., in indoor shooting ranges).

A target shooting system is described. The system can include at least one target signal/sensor assembly, the target signal/sensor assembly including an active target signal, an active target signal actuator, at least one hit sensor, and a target signal/sensor transceiver. The system can also include a round counter configured to be attached to a weapon and to sense firing of a projectile from the weapon, the round counter including a projectile firing sensor, a round counter processor and a round counter transceiver. The system can further include a computing device configured to communicate with the at least one target signal/sensor assembly and the round counter.

A throwing star target is provided, in which a throwing star easily sticks and which has excellent durability. A throwing star target 1 which holds a thrown throwing star 2 includes a board 10, and a plurality of pins 20 arranged on a target surface 10A of the board 10. Each of the plurality of pins 20 has a polygonal XY cross section, is formed to be tapered, and has flat surfaces 20U, 20V, and 20W which come into contact with a front side 2A or a back side 2B of the throwing star 2 that is in a state in which of being held.
