Apparatus and method for indicating whether a target has been impacted by a projectile

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.

TARGET SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHODS
20220074716 · 2022-03-10 · ·

A target system can detect the location of a projectile disposed within a target and subsequently alter an image being displayed on the target in response to the location of the detected projectile. The target system can include a sensor, an image source, a portable electronic device, and a computing device. The sensor can be positioned on the target to detect the location of the projectile on a face of the target. The image source can project an image onto the face of the target. The portable electronic device can receive input from a user to dictate the image(s) displayed on the target. The computing device can be communicatively coupled to the sensor, the image source, and the portable electronic device and cause the target system to detect the location of the projectile and subsequently alter the image displayed on the target in response to the location.

REUSABLE SHOOTING TARGET ASSEMBLY
20210325153 · 2021-10-21 ·

A shooting target assembly that can be reused multiple times. The shooting target assembly includes a base having a front face and a rear face. The front face of the base having one or more layers of pressure-sensitive coating. The pressure-sensitive coating is such as an area of the coating receiving the impact of the bullet hitting the shooting target can change in color, thus showing the point on the shooting target being hit by the bullet.
