Apparatuses, systems and methods for indicating whether a target has been impacted by a projectile are disclosed. Embodiments may include a microcontroller, an impact sensor, and an impact indicator. Apparatus may include an acoustic sensor and a miss indicator. Acoustic information or impact information may be received by the sensors and sent to the microcontroller unit. A determination may be made regarding whether the target has been impacted. An indication of a hit or a miss may be made by the impact indicator based on the determination. A light redirection element, which may include a light pipe, may direct light from the impact indicator around the edge of a target to a viewer.

A mobile-target training system includes a base having independently-controlled motorized wheels coupled thereto. A target is coupled to the base and has a penetration detector coupled thereto. The penetration detector includes an open electric circuit having electrical properties. The open electric circuit exhibits a change in its electrical properties for each occurrence of an object passing through the open electric circuit. A feedback generator coupled to the penetration detector generates recognizable feedback for each occurrence of change in the electrical properties of the open electric circuit.

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 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.

This present disclosure is directed to a movable target system intended for sports and activities. Two vertical support members are coupled with a target to create the system. The target is coupled to four component housings, located on the vertical support members, that contain an electric motor and processor that controls movement. Two target sensors are positioned in the system; one coupled to the target, and the other coupled to a vertical support member are used to detect movement through the target and between the two vertical support members. A database of positions loaded onto the processor that have corresponding decision weights for each position. The positions are selected by either the stationary randomizer function or the moving target randomizer function. Shooting statistics are recorded and used to update the target position database decision weights to challenge the user.
