Abstract
Examples extend to methods, systems, apparatus, and computer program products for detecting impacts on metal targets in a live-fire environment. In one aspect, a system determines and displays a bullet impact on a steel target. The system includes a plurality of sensors conjoined with said steel target and including at least one strain gauge for measuring data including strain on a target. A set of LED lights is conjoined with said steel target for displaying bullet impacts. The system includes a wireless transmitter adapted to transmit target impact data. The wireless transmitter is conjoined with or otherwise communicably connected to the plurality of sensors. The system includes at least one remotely located wireless receiver for receiving transmitted target impact data.
