Abstract: A shooting target system exhibiting a ballistic plate having a front face, capable of being struck by aimed projectiles, and an opposed rear face which is made to accept an array of sensors for the detection and transmittal of ballistic strike information. The array of sensors is applied to the opposed rear face and is made to cover a major portion of the rear face. Each sensor is responsive to discrete areas of vibration of the ballistic plate, resulting from a projectile strike, which generates a strike signal that is transmitted to a processor connected to each of the sensors. The processor determines which of the sensors is/are first activated by a projectile strike during a limited time interval and calculates the location of a projectile strike based on the location of the activated sensors and whether each sensor's input is above or below a preselected threshold.
