Wireless Target Identification - Project

This is one of my old projects... just posting it for reference purposes.


Shooting targets 1000 yards away can be quite a pain when you have to use binoculars just to see whether you hit the target or not. Sometimes the targets are so banged up that it's hard to even see whether the shot was good or not. Even hearing a hit down range may sometimes be inaccurate as other shooters may be practicing nearby.

A solution to this problem is to use a wireless sensor directly connected to the target. Using an Arduino and a shock sensor, we can determine shot hits and report it immediately back to the shooter via a wireless receiver box.
