A target system has a splatter pack attached to a target panel. The splatter pack acts as a receptacle for a fluid that provides visual confirmation that the target has been hit as the pack bursts upon impact by a projectile. As the pack bursts, the fluid explodes out and leaves a splatter pattern on or about the target panel. The burst and residual splatter allow the marksman to see whether or not an accurate shot was delivered without having to closely examine the target. The splatter pack is removably secured to the target panel by an adhesive layer and once a pack has burst, another pack can be readily attached in its place. If only a portion of the splatter pack has been hit and not all chambers have burst, individual chambers may be inserted in place of the previously burst chambers.
