Anyone used these on 3/16"-1/4" steel at 400-600y, shooting .22LR?

Do they light up with the sensitivity set to "high"? Or is there not enough impact energy....
 
We used a couple at out latest shoot and the seemed to work

They used then at Cameo in March for the NRL22X. Over 450 yards were the only targets. They also used them for 400 and 500 at Ben Lomond for the NRL22x a few weeks ago. Still have yet to light one. 😐

Have yet to light one 'cause you missed, or the hits didn't trigger the flashers? Seriously.

OK since these units seem to be GTG for RF, I jumped in the T4R and scooted out to MHSA and grabbed these for the new CRC RF match:

They work very well when set up correctly


My only complaint is quick follow ups. Its pretty easy on a prone stage to get 4 shots down range real fast when you get our wind call right on the first shot and they don't all reset the indicator. Had it happen at a match. 4 shots in like a 4" group at 380ish that the spotter called but the flasher only picked up 2 I think it was

Looks like good advice, thank you.
 
I used em’ for our NRL22X match at Cameo this past March. No problems that I know of. They lit up every time they were supposed to. Gotta use pretty light steel though, and you gotta hang the steel properly so that it’ll both ring & so impacts set off the T-1000’s

Disagree with your comment on using the light steel hung properly, at least for the Gen 2 units.

A few days ago I set my two brand new Gen 2s (see Post #9) to "Extra High Sensitivity," and they lit up like champs at 420y, affixed to a 100% IPSC made of 1/2" AR500, mounted on a T-post. The Gen 1 units I believe do not have this "Extra High" option...

Extra High sensitivity is nuts. If I pick up the device, that's sometimes enough force to set it off.
 
Made some brackets to hang off of t-post and tested at 100 yards...ready for 350 yard test this weekend.

547. I tested both out and they both worked. Landed one on the clock too. But that's about all I get to brag about today. My overall left a bit to be desired. Would help if I would shoot the correct COF. 😐
