Target with visually distinctive motion-based accuracy feedback

Abstract

The embodiments herein provide for accuracy-based distinctively acting visual feedback targets through independently active target portions. In particular, the target systems herein have a center target portion and one or more concentric or nested outer portions, where each of the center and outer portions is configured to be rotationally indicative of being hit by a projectile, and is specifically configured to not move any portion further inward of the hit portion. In one embodiment, concentric target portions (e.g., rings) spin around an axis independently when hit, thus indicating a center hit or the distance from center of the hit (i.e., no portion further inward or outward spins other than the hit portion). In another embodiment, nested paddle targets are configured such that knocking down a particular paddle correspondingly knocks down all other paddles that may be further outward (i.e., leaving any portion further inward of the hit portion unmoved/standing).
