Cholla Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 A friend sent me a link to this company: https://silvermountaintargetsusa.com/ They produce electronic targeting so that the user can see where his shots are hitting on a screen of a computer, iPad, or smart phone. It sounds cool for long-range matches but the bottom FPS at the target is 1150 so I assume it would not be able to sense big-bore shooting such as 45-70 to 45-120 as they seem to leave the barrel not much higher than that. Have any of you had experience with something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 At $650 to $850 each thats a lot of cash. The same amount will buy some decent spotting scopes. We shoot out to 700 yards with some cross winds that really push the bullets. I could see one of us hitting the sensor standing next to the target.

Zeb Gray, #36839 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Bullet must be supersonic when passing the target. Won't work for our big bore cowboy era calibers. A similar targeting system is ShotMarker (https://www.autotrickler.com/shotmarker.html ). I'll give them a thumbs up for targeting high power rifles.

Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 There are a number of companies that use acoustic systems to determine shot location on a target. They ALL require the bullet to be supersonic at the target. I have 8 of the Longshot LR3 cameras (made in TX) 2 sets of 4 as they only support 4 cameras per frequency. They are WONDERFUL !!! At 1 mile you can see hits on a 4X4 target with bullets as small as .224 as clear as day. I use my 11" iPad as a viewer. They are the only target cameras that are worth buying in my opinion. I plan to buy another set of 4 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
