    Electronic targets

    Does anyone know of or belong to a club that uses electronic targets for range shoots.
    We are looking for some for our new range.

    Can recommend anything using Microsoft product. Can confirm VERY satisfying, 100/100 especially if it happens to be displaying the Microsoft BSOD at the time.

    Unlikely to be multi-use though. On the plus side, likely to be a virtually unlimited supply after October and Win10 going obsolete...

    Kaituna Blenheim Rifle Club uses 5x silver Mountain Targets out to 900 yards, early model but work well. Marlborough Deerstalkers use 2x SMT out to 300 yards, newer model, on same range.Again these work well. Once calibrated they are easy to set up and use. KBRC take theirs down to Westport for annual comp. so reasonably to operate at other ranges once physical target frames are in place.

    The basic measuring accuracy of Silver Mountain and Shotmarker seems identical based on reports from other clubs. We use SM locally but my experience of Shotmarker at other ranges is good. I think the setup of Shotmarker is easier from various reports, and aftermarket support is better.

    We use silver mountain at whatawhata, but I m not sure if they are still made and if they will still be supported on the long term.
    Talk to Stu at https://impactsports.co.nz/
    He used to deal with silver mountain and service them.
