Target Shooting Game

Abstract

A target shooting game including a shooting device for projecting a signal or projectile; a target having a target surface including a target area; and at least one indicator associated with a portion of the target area and for indicating an interaction with the signal or projectile. A method of playing a target shooting game is also disclosed.

1 . A target shooting game, comprising:
 a shooting device configured to project a signal or projectile;   a target having a target surface including a target area; and   at least one indicator associated with a portion of the target area and configured to indicate an interaction with the signal or projectile.   
   
   
       2 . The target shooting game of  claim 1 , wherein the shooting device is at least one of the following: a firearm, a pistol, a gun, a rifle, a “play” gun, a gun-type device, a device capable of projecting or shooting a projectile or signal, a laser-type gun, a light-emitting gun. 
   
   
       3 . The target shooting game of  claim 1 , further comprising a key surface having a target area substantially corresponding to and aligned with the target area on the target surface; wherein the at least one indicator is an attachable element applicable to at least a portion of the key surface, such that after interaction with the signal or projectile, the attachable element indicates the interaction. 
   
   
       4 . The target shooting game of  claim 3 , wherein the attachable element is at least one of the following: a sticker, at least partially formed from an activatable material, at least partially formed from a reactive material, at least partially formed from an indicative material, a visual indicator, at least partially formed from a colored ink compound, at least partially formed from a photoreactive material, at least partially formed from a colored material, in the form of an applicable material, in the form of an adhesive substrate, in the form of a liquid material. 
   
   
       5 . The target shooting game of  claim 3 , wherein the key surface is disposed on at least one of the following: a separate target, a separate target surface, a surface on the reverse side of the target, an attachable surface, a paper surface. 
   
   
       6 . The target shooting game of  claim 3 , wherein the target surface and the key surface are integrated on a single substrate and at least a portion of a target area of the key surface substantially corresponds and is aligned with the target area of the target surface. 
   
   
       7 . The target shooting game of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one indicator is positioned in a predetermined location in the target area, and the at least one indicator is at least partially obscured until interaction with the signal or projectile. 
   
   
       8 . The target shooting game of  claim 1 , wherein the target area includes a plurality of discrete, positioned targets; the game further comprising a set of rules identifying at least one of the following: the attempts to interact with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area; the order or attempted interaction with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area; the manner of interaction with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area;
 the permitted interaction with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area; the suggested interaction with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area.   
   
   
       9 . The target shooting game of  claim 1 , wherein the game is at least one of the following: a golf-type game, a racing-type game, a baseball-type game, a hockey-type game, a football-type game, a soccer-type game. 
   
   
       10 . The target shooting game of  claim 9 , wherein the target is a paper target and the shooting device projects or shoots a projectile, wherein the at least one indicator is a hole punched in the target surface. 
   
   
       11 . The target shooting game of  claim 1 , wherein the target is a visual display device and the shooting device projects a signal, wherein the at least one indicator is a visual indication of an interaction between the signal and a specific portion of the visual display device. 
   
   
       12 . A method of playing a target shooting game, comprising:
 projecting, by a shooting device, a signal or projectile towards a target having a target surface including a target area having a plurality of discrete, positioned targets;   associating at least one indicator with a portion of the target area and indicating an interaction with the signal or projectile; and   providing a set of rules identifying at least one of the following: the attempts to interact with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area; the order or attempted interaction with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area; the manner of interaction with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area; the permitted interaction with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area; the suggested interaction with the discrete, positioned targets of the target area.   
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the target shooting game is a golf-type game and the discrete, positioned targets are a visual representation of at least one golf hole. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the set of rules indicates a number of strokes assessed based upon the position of the at least one indicator on the target surface as a result of the projection. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the target shooting game is a racing-type game and the discrete, positioned targets are a visual representation of at least one racing object. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the discrete, positioned targets are a plurality of sets of racing objects, wherein the set of rules directs interaction with a first or subsequent racing object based upon the position of the at least one indicator on the target surface as a result of the projection. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the target shooting game is a baseball-type game and the discrete, positioned targets are a visual representation of at least one baseball object. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the set of rules indicates at least one of a hit, a single, a double, a triple, a homerun, a run, a strike, an out, a pitch, a throw or any combination thereof, based upon the position of the at least one indicator on the target surface as a result of the projection. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the target is a paper target and the shooting device projects or shoots a projectile, wherein the at least one indicator is a hole punched in the target surface. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the target is a visual display device and the shooting device projects a signal, wherein the at least one indicator is a visual indication of an interaction between the signal and a specific portion of the visual display device.
