I am interested in some steel flasher targets like ones used in 3 gun.
Anyone know who makes them and if they can be sourced easy enough in NZ.

Mate I have no idea what they are but I reckon that if you had a couple of photos and a few measurements then a clever bloke like VC could knock you up a couple lickity split.
Probably?Quote:

Basically a heavy bis target square or round that when hit activates a coloured plate or tin to tell you it has been hit. Normally on a pendulum type mount.
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.

Deadeye Dicks - Targets
Just an idea..
Weakness wold appear to that it hit on the frame would still set it ff.
Not a bad idea at all. 😆Quote:

Only useful to 900 meters though.
Only need them for 600 at the very most.Quote:

Ill send ya one down to try out when i get a chance if you like.
Ground impacts will also set them off as me and VC found out.
Flash visible to 2k with naked eye .

Is it the Caldwell one?Quote:

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?Quote:

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.😆Quote:

I had a discount code about to expire from Brownells after my last order, so have just grabbed one of these and sent it to the hotel of my mate thats on holiday over there, looking forward to testing it out long once the new 28 Nosler arrives.Quote:

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