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

These are a game changer, at a reasonable price. If you are shooting long range or have limited sight of your steel target, these are great. I am a long-range instructor, and these make spotting hits at over 1000yds a breeze. They are tough, we have had some that have damaged LEDs from bullet strikes and the other lights continue to work. Tough, affordable device that aids in more effective training. Also makes the job of the spotter much easier !

So far a good experience. I attached them to head top edge to lesson chances of bullets striking the LEDs but even lowering the height to reveal less of the LED helps but still gets a hit once in while splitting off the top plastic lip. I wrapped the edge with strips of gorilla duct tape and it really helps hold unit together. You will lose some of the green LEDs to hits but the damned thing survives and works beautifully. I use them in indoor IDPA matches with swing steel and has been a big enhancement to the pistol match. I want to get some out on the rifle range in the future. I don't even bother switching them off between matches. Use a butter knife to separate them from the velco backer to move or replace. Buy a spare.

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.

Love these things. Works every time you hit the target, just like it should, and had no problem seeing it at 400yrds in direct bright daylight. Makes shooting even more fun

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.

This thing really works exactly as advertised. Very impressed.

Must have for metal targets. Especially effective with .22. If win is blowing against you, the flasher lets you know that you had a hit when you couldn't hear the impact. Also useful on long range metal targets. The flasher quickly lets you know if you made impact.

Works as it should, good quality, sticks well to metal target

Work very well

Makes those long range hits visible even in heavy wind if you can't hear the impact. Very bright and easy to install. Comes with extra velcro for reinstall.

Fonctionne bien sur une cible 1/2" d'épaisseur. Très visible même au soleil à 700m.

Velcro peeled off from the indicator(not the target) the glue didn’t hold and sent it flying. Target is 5 inch 3/8 ar500 held by chain, shot at by 6.5 creed at 300y . Would be fine with .22 and probably .223 or maybe with a larger gong.
