Abstract: A remote ignition device includes an igniter element, a fuel/oxidizer element, and a smoke generating element. Each of the igniter element, the fuel/oxidizer element, and the smoke generating element is configured in a layered configuration such that impact of the igniter element causes ignition of the fuel/oxidizer element and further causes the smoke generating element to release a visible smoke. Shooting targets incorporating the remote ignition device and methods of making the remote ignition device are also described.
