Abstract: A target for use in interactive target practice by a shooter firing bullets thereat with a controller for controlling the target's operation. The target includes a target plate, indicators, such as lights, for indicating that a practice round has begun, a target sensor, such as a vibration sensor switch, for detecting when the target plate has been struck by a bullet, and a firing mechanism for firing a projectile, such as a paint ball, at the shooter if the shooter does not hit the target plate within the allotted time. The target plate is hingeably attached to a target stand, a shock absorber is provided for absorbing the impact of bullets upon the target plate, and both the target plate and the target stand are angled forwardly downwardly so as to minimize ricochet of bullets back at the shooter.
