Steel targets for 1000 yards

Lemonaid Wrote:... there should be a way for this to be a easy flash system.

You could use a toggle circuit with the target as the momentary switch. Bullet passes through, ON, next bullet passes through, OFF. Whenever the bullet misses, no change to state.

For the switch you can use three layers of Corflute; the middle layer is the insulator between two sheets of metal fly screen or Alfoil style insulation cladding also works. As the bullet scrapes through and against the two layers of fly screen it completes the circuit. When it has passed through, the switch opens again. This is connected to a toggle circuit so it remains in state until the next momentary connect; OFF, hit, ON, hit, OFF, hit ON...

This is a 12V battery connected to a magnetic flashing vehicle safety light. During daylight you could connect it to a battery operated thing that is visible but I have not done this; nightime, twilight only. Truth be known, you will probably be able to see a flasher through your scope during daylight anyway.

The target can be any shape or size; circles, squares, large, small. This is the rear of a man-size target on the right, where the whole size is one set of leads, while the more precise centre hit is another set (so, using two flashers). The smaller left-hand target is front view and one switch.

You can clearly see the rlasher high in nearby trees, buildings so safely tucked behind the mound or or behind something is the go. It doesn't have to be directly facing the shooter.

Fly screen takes several hundred hits before needing replacement. Just don't bore a large hole through the centre with bench-rest accuracy at close range.
