Quickfire retro game   
Does anyone remember an electronic game from the early 1980s called 
quickfire / quickshot / quickdraw

It's either driving me nuts - or there's a shortage of images / ebay 
auctions on the net for it at the moment.

It was a black plastic "console" on which were three stirckers - each 
sticker being a sort of archery board.   In the centre of each sticker was a 
photo electric cell of some description.   The other part of the game was a 
light gun - if you could fire the "bolt of light" to be picked up by the 
cell - you had hit the target and there were various sequences like 
electronic Simon to play.
