Hornady Horn 97301 Hit Target Impact Indicator - 5 Pack

The Hornady Horn 97301 Hit Target Impact Indicator is a five-pack of wireless bullet-strike indicators designed to make long-range steel target shooting faster and more efficient. Instead of walking downrange or squinting through binoculars to confirm hits, these compact devices mount to your target stand and flash a visible signal the moment a bullet impacts—eliminating guesswork and keeping you focused on your shooting position. They're built for shooters running high-volume drills, testing loads, or dialing in precision rifles where immediate feedback matters.

Each indicator uses an accelerometer to detect the vibration signature of a bullet strike on steel, then responds with a distinctive Morse code pattern (the letters H-I-T) that's visible to the naked eye up to 1000+ yards in typical conditions. The ultra-bright flash cuts through daylight glare far better than waiting for dust clouds or listening for impacts. Setup takes seconds—the elastic band attachment works with most common target stands, and there's no complicated mounting hardware to fuss with in the field.

Charging is handled via micro-USB, so you can top off the battery between range sessions using any standard cable and power bank or wall adapter. The five-pack gives you options: mount multiple indicators on different targets, keep spares at the range, or outfit a full steel course. For shooters who demand efficiency and accuracy feedback at distance, these strike indicators remove a major friction point in the shooting process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I mount the Hornady Hit indicators to my target?

Each unit includes an elastic band that attaches to most standard target stands. Simply position the indicator on the target frame and secure it with the band—no drilling, welding, or special hardware required.

How far away can I see the impact flash?

The Hornady Hit indicators are visible up to 1000+ yards with the naked eye under typical weather conditions. Bright sunlight and high glare may reduce visibility range in some situations.

How do I charge the indicators?

The units recharge via micro-USB using any standard USB power source (wall charger, power bank, or computer). This means you can keep them topped off between range sessions without buying replacement batteries.

What happens if wind or vibration hits the target stand?

The accelerometer is tuned to detect the specific vibration signature of a bullet impact on steel, so light wind, bumps, or movement won't trigger false flashes. It activates only when the target is actually struck.
