Practice your aim with the Hover Ball Shooting Gallery. Different than any other [target practice games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caldwell-clays-app), this shooting gallery features targets suspended in mid air.

Seeming to float in the air, the balls hovering just above the machine gives it the appearance of being a [futuristic Sci-Fi style gun range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildgate). Each of the air columns has an individual pressure control setting, so you can set each of the super light balls at a different height to make the game more challenging. The gallery comes with a multiple-loaded gun that holds six [foam darts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortnite-ballistic) that you can shoot at the balls or at the target in the center of the machine.

Become a better shooter with the Hover Ball Shooting Gallery.
