New steel target shooting gimmick

[Camo]

Ran across these on youtube while researching brass catchers. Anyone else see the obvious problem with these?

Obvious to me would be a somewhat poor shooter hitting the indicator.

I think they are for long range shooting where spotting hits can be difficult.

my luck I would hit the light strip with first shot.

I just have my wife stand next to the target and wave her hands when I hit it...

There it is.

I've watched Robski use this on his channel and you can see those lights at 700 yards. I do know that shots don't always audibly register distinctly at extended ranges so I do see the use case. In my particular instance where my hearing loss (military service) has become more pronounced in the last few years . I probably couldn't hear every impact on steel at ranges beyond 500 yards.

I’ve got the same issue for the same reason, but my luck I’d hit the light the very first shot every time.
