    I've been spending more and more time shooting steel at the outdoor range I belong to one the last couple of years, Pistol Plate Racks & Rifle Torso and Silhouette. Need to look up that 22 dueling tree, my daughter would find that very fun indeed.

    I’ve have the Action Target one now and it is pretty good. I had an MGM target. The stand on the action is tripod, and I put a wing nut on the forward leg so I can loosen it, fold it, and stow it in the back of a Yukon. Great times.

    Speed loader for 22lr mags is a key- unless you want to slow down…

    It's that simple.

    Maybe set up the paddles so they have one circuit fire a relay or solenoid to complete the light circuit, then you have to manually reset the relay before the next round?

    Yaaaaa, I’m electronics dumb. Runs in my family, my Dad electrocuted me twice when we were working on house electric. So I get that the solenoid actuates with electric current. Is there a turn key unit that would show left or right circuit complete, and then a reset button?

    I have a friend who's an electronics expert who's looking into that, but thinks it wouldn't be too hard to design and build from scratch. Right now what I'm thinking would be a simple microprocessor comparison circuit with something like... sorry, gonna get nerdy here...

    Dunno if this comes through as readable and my handwriting sucks diarrheic ass, but it should give some idea of the logic circuit design. Basically, unless we can find a chip with six inputs on a single AND gate, we're stuck forming five gates into a "logic tree" for each side.

    Each "tree" leads to a Normally Open switch (think a circuit breaker in reverse, where trigger input flips the switch closed until reset rather than open) that then turns on a light--I suggest say Red for Right and Blue for Left.

    Man, I miss Radio Shack right now... heck, even Fry's.

    I shot bowling pin matches that were double elimination using an online bracket site. It was pretty cool as we could see the results as we went along on our phones.
