Req for Info | Electronic Targets | For Home

Post by gverma » Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:15 am

Hi
I have now the following equipment on my list to hopefully become a better shooter.

1. Target - I was earliert thinking of buying a pully system but want to concider an electronic target. Buying SIUS seems to be out of my reach.

I looked for some stuff online and learnt that Megalink http://www.megalink.no/ and Häring GmbH http://www.haering-gmbh.de/site-uk/index-uk.html have electronic targets.

Anyone has any inputs on these?
Regards
Gaurav

why spend so much on a pulley target, one can make with a small motor and some thin cable not a rocket science ideal for 10M RANGE.

i have seen some (do not remember where) going for 15k or so.

Dear Gaurav,

Everyone gave you the inputs already- if you wish to buy them, buy them. I use matchbox as a target..I'd suggest you to focus on shooting than thinking about whether the target should be electronic or manual. LOL

Arrun
