Hornady hit indicator

   Sweet I stop in on way to town.
  Thinking more along the torch battery power circuit. The 12 volt adds a lot of bulk and weight. But still undecided. 
 Having said that, if I can walk into jaycar show them that unit then say got same thing in 5v I'm in business.
 Decided for the trip to get small piece of pipe. Put a spring inside that extends past end. Have a larger snug fitting
Pipe over out side with a small fin on it. 
 2 inch target plate other end. 
 Hit the plate the outer pipe pushes back, fin break beam, timer sets off, target springs back, 10 sec later light stops. Ready to reshoot. 
 Should be able to get that unit least half that size.

	Well been doing a few measurements and calculations. Recon I'll drop this right down in size. Been looking at diy laser trips on Web. Seems a laser pointer and few bits and bobs make a laser trip at 5v quite simply. Still beyond me, so ill see about getting one made up. But the paper work looks promising.
