[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 1339824, member: 2261"] Are your targets going to swing freely (as in hangers from chain or on pivots) or fixed in place? The difference matters for most systems - some do not have variable sensitivity. Plus, the target mounting system often makes the attachment of the hit sensor a problem. The IRIS system and the new Light REact system use fairly large impact sensors which need to be attached to the target. Our goal for the Tonopah 2 mile (2500 yard further than what you are looking for), was a combination system using both flashers and cameras. I've used cameras for several years out to 2,000 yards (until recently they didn't reach out to 2 miles). If you find a decent method of protecting your camera that allows the signal out, it will work regardless of wind and in most cases weather (I assume you put the cameras out daily and retrieve them daily at the end of the day). The potential issue with a proposed system with 5 or 6 separate cameras is you'll need to run a hefty network and server system or multi frequency cameras with dedicated monitors. Depending upon the size of the various targets that you'll be using, there are some mechanical flag systems that work pretty well and can be seen with standard spotting scopes even in heavy mirrage.
