You didn't say whether your target was paper, wood, steel, . . .

1: the backlit idea should work for a paper target, . . . put the light onto say a yellow background behind the black target, . . . should be able to see the individual holes, . . . unless they are really close together.

2: wood, . . . I would sand it down smooth and cover it completely with shoot n c, . . . should be able to spot that.

3: steel, . . . build it with a spring behind it so it falls down when hit, . . . then comes back up.

Just thinking outside the box, . . .

May God bless,
Dwight
