The present subject matter seeks to update how target shooting games are played. In the past, most games are played on a single target wherein after multiple rounds it becomes difficult to determine which shot belongs to which player.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to clearly describe various specific embodiments disclosed herein. One skilled in the art, however, will understand that the presently claimed invention may be practiced without all of the specific details discussed below. In other instances, well known features have not been described so as not to obscure the invention.
As described herein, the term “pivotally connected” shall be used to describe a situation wherein two or more identified objects are joined together in a manner that allows one or both of the objects to pivot, and/or rotate about or in relation to the other object in either a horizontal or vertical manner.
As described herein, the term “removably coupled” and derivatives thereof shall be used to describe a situation wherein two or more objects are joined together in a non-permanent manner so as to allow the same objects to be repeatedly joined and separated.
Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. The use of “including,” “comprising,” or “having” and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items.
Unless limited otherwise, the terms “connected,” “coupled,” and “mounted,” and variations thereof herein are used broadly and encompass direct and indirect connections, couplings, and mountings. In addition, the terms “connected” and “coupled” and variations thereof are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections or couplings.
The present subject matter is a multi-zone target with each zone dedicated to a single shooter. This allows each shooter to track their aim and be able to know what they need to work on. It also allows multiple users to aim at the same target as seen in
A single player may also use a target designed for multiple players to maximize their practice and reduce the amount of target papers used.
The dedicated zones have different target designs (art, shapes, objects, etc.) on each target sheet. For example,
In some embodiments, there are target designs created for unique multiplayer experiences. Zones may be split in any direction, shape or form. The zones may also be split by lines, colors or other ways to uniquely distinguish the target between players.
In some embodiments, each target is assigned a positive or negative point value based on the difficulty of the shot. The players then decide on a set number of shots for a round and compete for the high score.
In some embodiments, nicknames are given based on the player's score. For example, the player with the top score earns the nickname “Sharp Shooter”.
The foregoing detailed description of exemplary and preferred embodiments is presented for purposes of illustration and disclosure in accordance with the requirements of the law. It is not intended to be exhaustive nor to limit the invention to the precise form(s) described, but only to enable others skilled in the art to understand how the invention may be suited for a particular use or implementation.
The possibility of modifications and variations will be apparent to practitioners skilled in the art. No limitation is intended by the description of exemplary embodiments which may have included tolerances, feature dimensions, specific operating conditions, engineering specifications, or the like, and which may vary between implementations or with changes to the state of the art, and no limitation should be implied therefrom.
