Sure Shot / Blaster Shot – About Us

Sure Shots / Blaster Shot (founded by inventor Johnny Robeson Sr.) serves two core sectors of the Realistic Shooting Game marketplace: retail target gear for backyard enthusiasts and rugged, high throughput commercial systems for Family Entertainment Centers (FECs), carnivals, haunted attractions, and tactical training facilities

Building on decades of innovation since the invention of the reusable paintball (U.S. Patent US5967916A, 1998), we’ve engineered products that combine fun, training, and durability — from our original rubber reusable paintballs, still sold direct to consumer today  to the Blaster Shot Score Keeping System™ now deployed worldwide.

Blaster Shot Score Keeping Vest Systems:

Our flagship Blaster Shot Score Keeping Vests™ and targets deliver real-time hit detection, flashing light feedback, and instant scoring to phones, tablets, and big-screen displays. Designed for family entertainment centers, campgrounds, haunted attractions, and festivals...these U.S. made systems are affordable, rugged, and built for high throughput play.

HANGERZ™ Reactive Mobile Targets:

HANGERZ™ are modular, reactive mobile targets that light up on impact and register every solid hit. They’re built for festivals, mobile booths, and seasonal attractions like zombie shoots, and can be re-themed quickly with swappable backdrops. Operators gain a flexible, high-capacity system without the limitations of inflatables.

Target Tents & Training Systems Sure Shots / Blaster Shot manufactures Target Shooting Tents for both recreational and professional use:

  • Recreational Target Tents — Safe, competitive setups for paintball markers, reballs, and our patented rubber reusable paintballs, ideal for camps, backyards, and indoor arenas.

  • Less Lethal Target Tents — Reinforced designs built to handle the higher impact of less-lethal launchers, trusted for drills and skills training.

  • Less Lethal Score Keeping Cube — A compact, mobile target system with reactive scoring feedback, used for training facilities and agencies seeking measurable results.

Where You’ll Find Us:

Blaster Shot products are installed across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Operators include Power Up Arena, Battle Axes (Lexington, KY), Twin Bridge Campground, and Gel Battle Zone (Canada). European distribution is supported by BlasterShot.eu.

A Family of Innovation Sure Shots is led by Johnny Robeson Sr., inventor and entrepreneur, together with his son Johnny Robeson Jr., the software developer and engineer. Their combined vision drives a product family that spans reusable paintballs, Blaster Shot Score Keeping Vests™, HANGERZ™ Targets, and target tents that keep score for gel ball, gel blaster, Nerf, reball, airsoft, less-lethal, archery tag, foam swords, and water tag.

Vision & Growth:

With rising demand for festival attractions, score-keeping vests, commercial target systems, and advanced training solutions, Sure Shots is scaling production and expanding distribution across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.

From the first reusable paintball to today’s Blaster Shot Score Keeping Vests™, HANGERZ™ Score Keeping Targets, Target Tents, and Less Lethal Score Keeping Cubes, our innovations continue to redefine how projectile and splash games are played, tracked, and trained.

As a family led company, we are committed to building partnerships and exploring new opportunities that push interactive scoring technology further — in both entertainment and training markets.
