Shotmarker protection

Here is my solution, a piece of 1/2 thick AR500 in front of the box.

This is not foolproof, looking at the white cable coming out of the right side, there is a hole in the panel caused by a faulty bullet landing sideways right on the cable. I replaced the cable.

As a safety concern, to possible people being in the pit area, I removed the AR500 plate, so there could be NO possibility of a projectile hitting it, and shattering and endangering any people or other items in the pits.
I then mounted the box on end, to provide a smaller cross section, and reduce the possibility of a strike on the box.

I like this!!!!
 
Just a thought, but if you shoot one, can it be repaired for less than $500? I haven’t opened one up, but I’d be really surprised to find components worth anywhere near that. Maybe they’d fix it more cheaply if you sent it back.

In any case, I just don’t shoot mine.
 
another easy solution would be to run extended length 3.5 mm audio cables and place the xmitter several feet away from the target frame
