Projectile target with hit indicator

A target system for projectiles comprising:

• a target hit indicator, said target hit indicator including at least one visual indicator for indicating that a target in which said target hit indicator is attached was impacted by a projectile, said target hit indicator including a housing, said housing including an attachment system suitable for use in securing said hit indicator system to said target, said attachment system includes two or more arms projecting radially outwardly from said housing, each said arm including a forwardly facing foot adapted for releasably retaining an elastic member extending from one of two or more arms to the other of said two or more arms, a portion of said target positioned between said two or more arms and said elastic member, said housing including a light source secured therein, an electronic component secured within said housing and electrically connected to said light source, said electronic component being constructed and arranged to detect the impact of said projectile against said target, said electronic component is constructed and arranged to detect mechanical vibration of said target from said projectile impact against said target without direct attachment to said target to cause said light source to illuminate, a translucent cover for covering said light source, said translucent cover allowing light to be transmitted therethrough, one or more energy sources in electrical connection with said electronic component, said electronic component being constructed and arranged to transfer electrical energy to said light source upon detection of an impact exceeding a predetermined threshold to said target, said electronic component ceasing said transfer of electrical energy after a predetermined period of time, said electronic component automatically resetting to detect additional impacts after said predetermined period of time.
