SureShots.us – About Us

About Sure Shots

Sure Shots was founded by John Robeson Sr., inventor of the reusable paintball (U.S. Patent US5967916A, 1998). Since the late 1980s, we’ve built products that combine fun, training, and durability — from our original rubber reusable paintballs, still sold today, to the Blaster Shot Score Keeping System™ now used worldwide.

Blaster Shot Score Keeping 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 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 Shots 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 John Robeson Sr., inventor and entrepreneur, together with his son John Robeson Jr., a software developer and engineer. Their combined vision drives a product family that spans reusable paintballs, Blaster Shot Score Keeping Vests™, HANGERZ™ Targets, Target Tents, and Less-Lethal Systems.

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 Vests™, HANGERZ™, Target Tents, and Less-Lethal Score Keeping Cubes, our innovations continue to redefine how projectile 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.
