Materials designed for recreational marksmanship practice, often featuring illustrations, patterns, or scoring systems intended to add amusement to the activity, are gaining popularity. A common example would be a sheet depicting cartoon characters or geometric shapes, where participants aim at these images for points or simply for enjoyment.
