Barry, this is hardly new technology. It’s been used in Europe in numerous indoor and outdoor rifle and pistol application for decades now. This technology is also the Olympic and World Cup standard.

Sure, anything can fail, but I’ll take the miniscule chance that one of these targets will go down hard over the current status quo of inconsistent pit service and unnecessary delays due to relay changes. And who can forget the 9/Yes – 9/No confusing mess in rapid fire?

In international events, when a target goes down or malfunctions, the shooter is moved to an open target. The range is never full to capacity in order to leave a few points available in case of malfunctions. I suspect that they will do the same in this situation.

I’m all for bringing new technology into the sport. However, in the middle of a match when least expected, that electronic system will go down. They better have someone with knowledge of that system on hand or they’re going to have some unhappy shooters. I hope i’m wrong.
