    Thanks mate. Ground strikes setting it off would not be good for scoring a big match. A mechanical one may be more fool proof.

    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.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @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 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.
