OK, the plastic mirror strips work perfectly BUT the glue on the back is weak. I will try to hotglue them. I am also printing a version with a lip for the edge of the target.

I've been reading trying to figure it out but what is the purpose of these mirrors?
Can you demonstrate with one attached to a target?

I bought two of them for the same purpose. They work very well. I recommend buying extra pieces of velcro to be able to stick a couple of the indicators to the back of numerous different targets.

The mirrors allow you to place 100% of the hit indicator behind the face.of the steel. That way if a shot actually hits the area where the indicator lights would have been, it wrecks the (consumable) mirror instead.of the actual hit indicator

They are cheap too! only $10. Only question is how far away are they visible. https://www.opticsplanet.com/hornady-hit-target-impact-indicator-5-pk.html

Do any / many of you have 3D printers?
Here is another vid that shows them in action. FF to 13:49 if you don't want to watch the build stuff.
Hit it with the proper round, at the proper distance and you will be able to see if you hit it.

What about in your printing leaving a grove to slide the mirrors into, then a drop of hot glue on the end to keep them in. The grove would only need to be open on one end. Either that or put a thread screw on the end open to keep it from moving out.

The mirror is super flexible and I have to cut w scissors. I lay a line of hot glue on then put into place w tweezers. If I had a laser here I think your approach would actually be better (precision groove)
