CaldwellFlash Bang, Target Hit Indicator with Impact Light System and Easy Attachment for Shooting, Shooting Sports, Target Practice

I purchased this hit indicator to use in conjunction with the Caldwell AR500 steel target and mount kit to use at my homestead gun range. I placed this setup on a T-post at 300 yards and in the bright Texas daylight it is easy to see and verify hits. The LEDs are compact but extremely bright The design is very simple and effective and low profile to help avoid direct hits on the LEDs themselves. Eventually I know someone is going to have a direct hit on the exposed LEDs so the fact that it only costs $30 is awesome. Quick heads up if you have the monthly Amazon warranty plan (which I do) and you accidentally damage this hit indicator you can get it replaced for free no questions asked ! Worth the $15 monthly fee and it covers all past, present and future purchases.

I recently started shooting steel out to 600 yards, and this makes seeing my hits so much easier. You can clearly see it blink through the scope, but it can be seen with the naked eye as well if you have good vision. I haven't accidentally shot it yet, but it is designed so only the LEDs stick out past the edge of the steel, and since they are wired in parallel, if you hit any it won't shut down the entire string like old-school Christmas lights. I haven't run down the first battery yet, so I can't comment on battery life. I've been shooting 6.5 Grendel almost exclusively, and it has always registered hits. Fantastic product.

Use these lighted hit indicators for long range steel target matches.They work great on big targets (12” or bigger), on smaller ones they separate from the target.The velcro sticks to the unit and the target OK, but the velcro doesn’t stick to itself.I tried mounting them with Neodymium Bar Magnets, but the magnets were too brittle and shattered on the first impact.The units themselves hold up very well and are a far better value than their competitor.They are OMG bright and can easily be seen at 1000 yards.For longer distances I use 2 on each target.I wish that the duration of the flash sequence was adjustable.Sometimes on quick follow up shots the unit is still flashing when you take the shot; and that’s with a bolt action.I would have given it 5 stars if the velcro had worked better.

Got this for shooting ELR with .338 Lapua and works awesome at 1200 yards and I’m sure it goes even further

Amazing value for the money. Don’t waste money on an expensive impact light. I bought two when they were on sale for $23 and put them on a full size IPSC target at 1150yards with and they were very bright on impact with 6.5creedmoor. No question of a hit at all. The supplied Velcro does come off a fresh steel target so throw some extra gorilla glue on there. I also was concerned about the Velcro absorbing the impact at long distances so made sure part of the plastic was touching the steel. Not sure if it actually did anything but definitely be buying a few more of these for long range. I think two could be spotted up to a mile.

Great visibility good design and build quality nice size and sticks to target great

Not reliable, does not provide consistent indication regardless of caliber.

just don't hit them !!! :), visible over 1km away, sensible enought to detect .22lr hits at 400m
