Abstract
Reactive targets and target frames are provided that react to being impacted by a projectile in such a manner as to cause longitudinal movement and/or rotation of the target frame. The movement, in turn, exposes different primary targets and/or a secondary target(s) to the participant. Participants can take either offensive shots against the competitor's targets or defensive shots to protect their targets from being impacted by the competitor.

A projectile target system comprising:
- a frame having a paddle wheel form comprising:
- a hub;
- a first primary target attached to the hub;
- a second primary target attached to the hub;
- a third primary target attached to the hub;
- and
- a secondary target attached to the hub, the secondary target having a planar surface;
- wherein each of the first, second and third primary targets extends radially outward from the hub;
- wherein the secondary target extends in an axial direction from the hub;
- wherein, when any one of the first, second, and third primary targets is alternatively exposed to a stationary participant, the projectile target system is supported on a surface only by two of the first, second, and third primary targets alternatively not exposed to the stationary participant;
- wherein said frame is configured such that upon impact of the secondary target each of said first, second, and third primary targets are removed from a line of sight of a stationary user of the target system.
