    It is a sensor at the back of the gong that monitor the movement of the plate and when an impact is detected it transmits it to the light .... some fancy electronics and programming ;)

    We tested it before using ot in a competition and it works. Shooting beyond 1km really makes it difficult to se hits and we really searched for a solution. Comparable systems does exist but it is expensive (not that this is cheap).
