Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for camera detection of projectile point of impact include: processing at least one of multiple images of a physical target in a field of view of a camera to determine an orientation of the physical target, correct spatial perspective distortion for the physical target, establish a metric for the physical target that relates a pixel-to-pixel distance with a real-world distance, or a combination thereof; comparing respective images in a sequence of images from the multiple images to identify image data representing a projectile having hit the physical target; determining a point of impact of the projectile on the physical target based on the image data representing the projectile having hit the physical target; and providing the determined point of impact for scoring and presentation on a display device.
