Here's the setup - 'Poor mans' electronic target

Target


Circuit


Target is whatever shape and size you want to make it. This is a standard human torso; 1.2M * 0.5M * 2cm thick, 2.5kg. It has 10M of cable to separate the target from the flasher/circuit.

The shot indicator is whatever you think you need to see at whatever distance. This one is a flashing orange hazard LED found on construction vehicles. You can see it through the scope at distance. How bright it is is less important than flashing. Flashes are more easy to spot when looking through a scope in daylight. The battery is a 14.4V 2Ahr Li-ion (4*18650 laptop batteries). Flasher draws 1.5W so you have up to 12 hours of ON-time. Bear in mind the flasher is only ON for half of the shots.

At night time this rig is too bright using night vision gear so it goes in a plastic shopping bag or gets partially covered.

1st shot ON
2nd shot OFF
3rd shot ON...

Corflute targets are less heavy to lug around than steel when setting up a scenario in the scrub...up and down hills.
