Abstract: An instant response bull's-eye target system is disclosed. A cylindrical shaft with a flat plate bull's-eye target on one end fits within and is supported on a rigid base by a pair of bushing guide members. A cam member on the shaft is biased against a snap switch, the switch connected to a signal means. A projectile striking the target displaces the target, shaft and cam out of contact with the switch, activating the signal means. The biasing means then returns the cam into contact with the switch, deactivating the signal means.

Abstract: An improved impact target, the instant response target system, has a base frame, an independent power source, and a support frame. An electrically energizing snap switch is carried on a bracket connected to the base frame. An electrical power source is independent and connected by wires to the snap switch. A target and an impact plate are carried on the support frame by two pillow blocks and two steel pins counter balanced by a counter weight and counter weight adjuster. The bullet impact pushes the target off the snap switch energizing the light.
