A dynamic target stand comprising pivotally interconnected platform members including two horizontal parallel swing arms pivotally mounted to a base on two vertical parallel pivot posts and a plurality of horizontal cross members pivotally connected to both swing arms on vertical pivot axes. A motor drives the swing arms in reciprocating clockwise and counterclockwise motion. The cross members travel in reciprocating arcuate paths but maintain a fixed angular (or rotational) orientation with respect to a person taking target practice. Targets mounted to the swing may face the user's line of sight throughout their arcuate paths. Multiple targets may be mounted on the platform creating a dynamic group of targets moving at different speeds, in different lateral directions, and crossing paths from the user's perspective. The target stand is compact, portable by person, and rapidly set up and taken down without tools.

An apparatus for use with goals, preferably soccer goals, includes a support (101) that is capable of preventing the rotation of the goal, particularly when the goal is tipped, and is movably connected an upright (103). When a goal is tipped, gravity causes the support (101) that is hingedly connected to upright (103) to maintain an approximately vertical position while the upright (103) moves as the goal tips. As the goal tips, the support (101) moves within a desired range relative to the upright (103). When the support (101) contacts the play field, rotation of the goal stops.

The invention provides a shooting training system and a shooting training method. The method includes the steps of obtaining the shooting point position and the aiming direction, detected by a first sensor, of a weapon and obtaining the shooting environmental condition detected by a second sensor; on the conditions of the shooting point position, the aiming direction and the shooting environmental condition, predicting an estimated shooting point position, located on a target, of a shot object shot by the weapon according to a shot article track model, established in advance, of the weapon; and reminding a shooter of the estimated shooting point position. According to the shooting training system and the shooting training method, the shooter, the weapon and the target do not need auxiliary devices such as sensors, the shooting training scene can be similar with the actual shooting scene, the shooting training procedure can be simplified, the shooter can use the system conveniently, the user experience of the shooter can be improved, and the training effect of the system can be improved. In addition, historical shooting data of the shooter can be used for assisting in shooting training of the shooter and providing personalized shooting training.

The present invention provides a convertible sport goal comprised of a plurality of tubular members. The sport goal has a first arrangement forming a first type of sport goal and a second arrangement forming a second type of sport goal. Tubular extensions extend and retract to allow rearranging the sport goal between the first and second type.

An integrable naval virtual target range system and method provides three-dimensional graphical viewing capabilities of a virtual target range so that naval and fire support personnel can train together during both simulated and live fire exercises. The virtual target range system comprises a control subsystem having a computer system and a spotter subsystem for monitoring virtual impact points on the virtual target range. The target system may further comprise a buoy subsystem and/or an aerial vehicle subsystem, for use during live fire exercises, to locate ordnance impact points used for calculating the virtual impact points.

A free-standing post supported target mechanism has a support post of a defined cross-sectional geometry. A baseplate defines a post opening receiving the support post and has a first orientation permitting movement of the baseplate along the length of the support post and a second orientation establishing a gripping relation with the support post. A spall plate defines a post opening receiving the support post and has a first orientation permitting movement of the spall plate along the length of the support post and a second orientation establishing a gripping relation of the spall plate with the support post. A target plate engages the baseplate and the spall plate and is secured by a locking member. A target base defines a receptacle receiving and supporting the support post and establishes a weight-forward condition that offsets the rearward forces of bullet impact.

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.

A flat goal target can be attached to an available outside (brick) wall, i.e., at a school building. The goal target is a flat fabric, woven or non-woven, i.e., a sturdy vinyl. The image of a goal and goalkeeper is printed on the fabric. Attaching strips, which can be made of stiff or male Velcro material, may be adhesively secured to the brick wall. The adhesive is strong enough to keep the target up, but giving enough not to harm the wall. The target can be set up for practice, and taken down between practice times. This permits the lacrosse player, hockey player, or other athlete to practice by hitting the ball against the wall, with an objective that simulates game conditions. In a variation, thin flat aluminum sheets are positioned behind the goal target in the goal areas not covered by the goalie figure. These act as a sounder to let the player know he or she is on target. As an alternative, the same system can be used to simulate a tennis net. There may be other attachment provided, e.g., metal fasteners or clips.
