20110175293 | SELF RESETTING TARGET APPARATUS - Describe herein is a target apparatus that includes a base with a flat surface and a rocker assembly. The rocker assembly includes a curved surface operatively disposed in rolling engagement with the flat surface. The rocker assembly also includes a target support that is configured for supporting a target thereon. The rocker assembly rolls on the flat surface in a first direction between an upright position and a lowered position. The rocker assembly has a weight sufficient to return the rocker assembly to the upright position from the lowered position. The target apparatus may be configured such that a target mounted on the target support moves in a direction toward or away from the front of the target apparatus or in a direction perpendicular to a direction that runs from the back of the target apparatus to the front of the target apparatus. | 07-21-2011 |
20110291361 | LADDER FOR USE IN THE GAME OF LADDER BALL - A ladder device suitable for use in the play of ladder ball. The ladder device includes a lower rung and a leg assembly connected to the lower rung. A middle arm is connected to the lower rung by middle arm members. An upper rung is connected to the middle rung by upper arm members. The device may be deployed in a game play configuration and also in a collapsed configuration. In the play configuration, legs extend below the lower rung, the middle rung is above the lower rung, and the upper rung is above the middle rung. In the collapsed position, the legs and the upper arms are adjacent to and parallel with the middle arm members. Preferably, the legs and upper arms have a length that is no longer than that of the middle arms, thereby facilitating a compact configuration when folded into the collapsed orientation. | 12-01-2011 |
20120043722 | SMART SHOOTING RANGE - An intelligent shooting having features and props able to be control and monitored wirelessly and remotely is disclosed. Further novel shooting target designs are additionally disclosed herein having external power supplies configured therewith. In a preferred embodiment, a first target of the present invention can be rotated in either direction about a vertical axis to optionally simulate friendly or unfriendly target.
