Spring Loaded Target for NERF Gun Fun!

NERF Guns are popular all over the world and used for a bit of harmless fun at home, around the office / workplace and outdoors. It provides a new sporting / competitive dimension to NERF Gun fun.

The target itself is a moving one piece print with hinges. The second part is a small flat strip of PLA that is used as a return spring. Both parts only uses a bit over 60gm of PLA at recommended setting (including Raft). As an alternative to printing a PLA spring you can cut a similar size strip of flexi / springy plastic from an old plastic container of some sort.

Allocate a specific number of NERF darts to each competitor and score their hits. This target makes it easy to see hits as it is spring loaded. You can hear a hit and see it spring back... then it pops back up and into place ready for the next shot.

The target is easy to mount. Either use a couple of screws into a block of wood, a wooden bench, shelf or fence then slot into place. This makes it easily removable if you want. The alternative is to clip it onto a bench, table or shelf using a large bulldog clip.

This is a great fun alternative to the usual 'human targets' NERF Guns are commonly used for... and it can become very competitive.
