The Caldwell Steel Target Hit Indicator solves a common problem on the range: confirming impacts on steel when you're too far out to hear the ring or see the splash. This is the Flash Bang unit, a self-contained polymer device that mounts to the back of a steel plate and fires off 10 ultra-bright green LEDs the instant a round connects. Shooters running long-distance steel, training drills, or precision practice get instant visual feedback without walking downrange or squinting through a spotting scope. It pairs naturally with any of our steel and reactive targets for shooters who want confirmation at distance.
The unit runs on 3 AA batteries (included) and is rated for over 30,000 impacts per battery set, so a single set lasts through extended range sessions before replacement. The 10 green LEDs stay visible for thousands of yards even in bright daylight, which is where audible ring-back and steel splatter tend to fall short. Caldwell sizes the indicator for AR500 steel targets 5 inches or larger, and it attaches with heavy-duty hook-and-loop fasteners so you can move it between plates without tools. The polymer housing measures 1.70 x 3.70 x 6.15 inches and weighs half a pound, light enough to leave mounted on a hanging gong or swap onto a different AR500 plate as your setup changes.
This indicator earns its keep at distances where hit confirmation gets difficult: long-range rifle steel, action shooting on remote plates, or load development where every impact matters. Mount it behind the plate, set up your firing position, and the green flash tells you exactly when you connect, no spotter required. It works on most steel 5 inches and up, including dueling trees and silhouettes. If you're building out a steel setup, look at our dueling tree and the broader target accessories selection to round out your range gear.
It is compatible with AR500 steel targets measuring 5 inches or larger. The hook-and-loop attachment lets you mount it on round plates, silhouettes, dueling trees, and most hanging steel in that size range without any tools.
The unit runs on 3 AA batteries, which are included. Caldwell rates each set for over 30,000 impacts, so a single battery set typically lasts through many extended range sessions before you need to swap them out.
Yes. The 10 ultra-bright green LEDs are designed to stay visible for thousands of yards even in bright daylight conditions, which is where steel ring-back and bullet splatter become hard to detect at long range.
It attaches with heavy-duty hook-and-loop fasteners to the back of the plate. There are no tools required, so you can move the indicator between different targets in your setup as your range layout changes.
