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.

Targets for use in training personnel in the operation of thermal imaging systems are described, the targets include: an internal cavity; an electrically powered heat source; the heat source is arranged to introduce heat to the internal cavity to cause warming of the target to thereby generate a heat signature.

A shooting target, including an air blower, a fabric envelope assembled on the air blower, for being inflatable thereby, and an electric current meter, for measuring electric current flowing through the air blower, thereby allowing indicating a bullet shot on the fabric envelope while being inflated, upon determining a change in the measured electric current.

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.

An intelligent moving shooting target includes a shooting target base, a shooting target frame and a net rack. The shooting target base includes a driving base, a driven base and connecting tubes. Both ends of the connecting tubes are detachably connected with sidewalls of the driving base and the driven base. Lower ends of the driving base and the driven base are provided with wheels. A driving device is provided in the driving base. The driving device is connected with the wheels at the lower end of the driving base, and drives motion of the wheels at the lower end of the driving base. The shooting target frame is detachably mounted vertically on the shooting target base, and includes several horizontal tubes, vertical tubes, and connectors. The net rack is detachably mounted on the shooting target frame.

The present invention provides systems and methods for remote competition involving first and second sets of targets at first and second geographically remote locations. Status, hit and game information including game result information is communicated and received from first and second apps at the first and second locations via a cloud resource, and a competition occurs between users at the first and second locations.

A system and method for detecting hits to a target carrier and taking corrective measures and/or for detecting hits to a target carried by the target carrier may include one or more sensors or cameras disposed in conjunction with the target carrier. The target carrier may be provided with a processor in communication with a sensor, and the processor may also be in communication with a motor and/or actuator of the target carrier. The sensor may be able to sense hits to the target carrier and send a strike signal to the processor in response to such hits. The processor may then take corrective action, such as causing the target carrier to return to a home position, cause the target actuator to turn or edge the target, and/or send a signal to the range operators that the target carrier has been hit. The target carrier may also be provided with a camera for visualizing a target carried by the target carrier.
