Abstract:

Disclosed is a reactive target system including at least one target panel supported by a respective target positioning unit, and a shooter communications device. The target panel includes first and second electrically conductive layers positioned between first and second outer reinforcement layers, and separated by an electrically insulating layer. The first electrically conductive layer includes a plurality of electrically isolated target zones and a corresponding plurality of electrical connection sites. The second electrically conductive layer provides a common conductor zone and a corresponding electrical connection site. Each of the electrical connection sites are configured to be pierced by and electrically couple to a respective electrical contact element of an attachment mechanism on the target positioning unit. The target positioning unit senses a projectile impact of a target zone of the target panel, moves the target panel between first and second positions, and is controlled by and communicates with the shooter communications device.
