The Hornady 97300 HIT Target Impact Indicator is a battery-powered impact light built for long-range steel shooters who want confirmed hit feedback without walking downrange or spotting through a scope. Sold as a 2 pack, each unit clamps to most target stands with an included elastic band and flashes an ultra-bright signal the moment a bullet strikes the plate. At 9.50 inches long, it mounts easily on standard steel hangers and gong setups. For anyone running a precision rig at distance, it removes the guesswork that comes with marginal hits and hard-to-read splatter on painted steel.
Each indicator uses an accelerometer to detect the vibration of a bullet impact, then triggers a flashing light Hornady rates as visible to 1000+ yards with the naked eye, weather depending. Instead of a simple on/off flash, the unit blinks the Morse code pattern for H-I-T, which lets a shooter distinguish a genuine impact from a false trigger or ambient movement at distance. Power comes from an internal rechargeable cell that tops off through a micro-USB port, so there are no loose cells to manage between range trips. The included elastic mounting band wraps around most existing stands and hangers, keeping the system simple to deploy and reposition across multiple targets.
These indicators earn their place on a long-range day when targets sit far enough out that calling hits gets unreliable, or when a single shooter is working multiple plates and can't watch every one. Charge both units before heading out, band them to your steel, and spot the H-I-T flash from the bench. Keep spare charging cables and gear with your other range electronics, and pair them with the rest of your shooting accessories. Shooters who like Hornady's range gear can also check the 5 pack version for larger target arrays.
Each unit houses an accelerometer that senses the vibration of a bullet striking the steel. When it registers an impact, the light flashes the Morse code pattern for H-I-T, which helps separate real hits from false triggers caused by wind or movement.
Hornady rates the HIT indicator as visible up to 1000+ yards with the naked eye, depending on weather and light conditions. Clear days and lower ambient light improve visibility at the longest distances.
Each unit has an internal rechargeable cell that charges through a micro-USB port. There are no disposable batteries to swap. Charge both units before a range session so they're ready when you set up your steel.
An elastic band ships with each indicator and wraps around most existing target stands and steel hangers. The 9.50-inch unit repositions quickly, so you can move it between plates or set up multiple targets across a course.
The 97300 ships as a 2 pack, giving you two independent units. Shooters running larger target arrays can step up to the 5 pack version for additional plates.
