Date night just got more interesting, rainy days more competitive, and your precision skills more dialed-in than ever!
Let’s break down the awesome Expansion Pack targets & Compete Modes available on the free Strikeman app and see how you can level up your training—one shot at a time.
Dartboard
Classic Darts Meets Tactical Precision
Ready to throw down with your shooting buddies? Dartboard mode turns your target into a dart competition that tests your accuracy, math skills, and nerves. You’ll start with either 501 or 301 points, and the goal is to count down to zero using as few shots as possible. Sounds easy? Think again!
How It Works:
- Choose Your Game Length – 301 for a quick session, 501 for the long haul.
- Add Modifiers:
- Double In: Hit a double before scoring starts.
- Double Out: Your final shot must be a double.
- Any Out: Must score on the board to kick off the game.
- Start Shooting:
- Hit numbered sections, use the double/triple rings for bonus points, and avoid busting!
- Bullseye? Yes, please—outer is 25 points, inner is 50.
- Missed shots still count as attempts. Aim sharp.
- Finish With Precision – You must hit exactly zero. Overshoot? You bust, and try again.
Pro Tip: Best possible score? 9 shots for 501, 6 for 301. Can you beat your partner's score?
Naval Warfare
Sink the Fleet or Go Down Trying!
Add a little nautical competition to your training with a thrilling shooter’s twist on Battleship. Use your laser precision to take down enemy ships before you run out of ammo—or lives!
How It Works:
- Choose the Ship Order:
- Any Order
- Largest to Smallest
- Smallest to Largest
- Pick Your Challenge:
- Lives Mode: Miss = Lose a life.
- Missile Count: Limited number of total shots.
- Sink Those Ships!
- Red = Hit. White = Miss.
- Hitting the wrong ship? Still counts as a miss!
Pro Tip: Want to feel the heat? Try it on Lives Mode—miss three times and it's game over!
Strike Ball
Carnival-Style Chaos—At Home!
Strike Ball turns your living room into a high-stakes carnival game where every shot counts. With time ticking and targets bouncing, this game’s all about fast focus and rapid-fire fun.
Two Game Modes:
- Strike-Ball: 60 seconds. 6 balls. Maximize your score.
- Free Scoring: Shoot as long as you want. Relaxed, but still competitive.
Watch Out: Ball return delay forces you to time your shots strategically. Don’t just spam!
Pro Tip: Strike Ball is perfect for parties or competitive couples. Beat your partner’s high score and claim bragging rights!
Front Nine
Golf + Marksmanship = A Hole-in-One Combo
If you're a fan of golf and shooting, this mode is your new obsession. Strikeman’s Front Nine challenges you to hit the “cup” in under 4 shots per hole. Total of 9 holes. Par is 36—how close can you get?
Game Modes:
- Amateur Golf: Larger scoring zones—great for beginners. Hit the holes in as few shots as possible. Can you go par for the course?
- Pro Golf: Pinpoint accuracy only, and less shots to hit your mark. Are you up for the challenge?
- Gator Hunter: Stop the gators invading your fairway—6 shots, 3 gators, no second chances!
Modifiers:
- One Mulligan: Forgive one bad shot per session.
Pro Tip: A hole-in-one isn't just for the pros—see if you can get one without breaking a sweat!
