Target Shooting System

Abstract

A target shooting system for multiple players with automatically appearing LED lights for shooting the target. A target frame comprises a target stand, a target base and a target impact plate. The target system further includes a plurality of target screens dynamically assigned with a unique color/pattern to the LED light. The target system is a combination of hardware and software. The hardware is a microprocessor with a set of LED lights and at least one sensor. The software application is configured for controlling the target, that indicates an LED status light for shooters and to send reaction time data to the communication device when the target is hit. The elapsed time data transmitted to the communication device that is being configured to wirelessly transmit and receive data between the computer and the microprocessor and the software application stores the reaction time data.
