All kinds of shooting games are getting more and more popular. Besides 
their exercise effect on physical aspect, they also provide high

high price. 
It is therefore considered that a shooting target with simple structure, 
high entertainment, low price and fine durability would satisfy the need 
of shooting fanciers.

then be started by the explosion of the balloon to generate entertaining 
sound and light.
