Ground impacts will also set them off as me and VC found out.

I recon that could be mininised/eliminated by the way it is hung

But has to be well balanced so that .223/5.56 will activate it at range.

Saves having to go forward to set LR targets etc.

I have seen them done with motion sensors and flashing lights/strobes etc

Cheaper than this one but similar concept.

look easy enough to make but I imagine there would be a bit of dicking around tuneing it to work with a 223 at long range...and then wind may become a problem?

I hear ya. That's why I am thinking a reliable light system may be easier.

I have had a pm to check some out made up north. I'm in no rush.

We have plans at the club to host more big shoots but we need to be able to provide interesting and challenging stages. The easier they are to set the quicker we can enjoy the shooting.

Our club has great facilities but only a handful interested in 3 gun.
I am trying to get more interested.

I'm interested but haven't done any really. Separate elements yes, strung together, no. Oh and you are too far away for weekend visits.

@R93, the LightReact system is probably the best I have seen for a flash unit on a steel target - I wouldn't mind two or three of them myself. I don't think they have their website up an going yet but check them out on youtube of FB and you'll get a good idea of their product.

They do look simple and what we are after but their website is not working yet.

Seen good reviews elsewhere.

Expensive though - I was quoted $325USD per system (i.e. includes 1 sensor and 1 light) with postage on top of that.

Typically you get what you pay for. They look like a very good system and ideal for my use for them.

Yeah expensive but I won't be paying for them.😆

I might have to buy one to prove the concept and then sell it back to the club.

Can you pm me a contact please @Gillie

I think it is pretty good but as you say it will flash on near misses.

I just cleaned out a tall boy I keep stuff in and found it all wrapped up nicely ready to be shipped back.
Pm me your addy and I will send it off.

It's only been a couple years
