An electronic apparatus for improving skills in reflex, speed and accuracy of the player as well as for recreational purposes is disclosed in which multiple targets spread around the player are selected with random sequence by an electronic device. The selections of targets are indicated by the visual indicators as well as an audio alarm on the electronic device. When the targets are selected, a timer on the electronic device is activated and the elapsed time is indicated by a display on the electronic device. The timer is halted when the targets are hit by the player. The indicators are then disabled and the elapsed time which measures the performance of the player is indicated by the display on the electronic device. The speed of target selection preceded by fake target selections is provided to improve player's reflex.
