Multiple Game Target Ideas

[JKaiser]

I need help with multiple game target (contact) ideas. Every year for our Thanksgiving office party we have a turkey shoot (rubber bands). The targets are made from presentation board foil back and super super soft springs for distance off the contact. I really want to have a target (contact) that is sensitive enough to detect a rubber band impact but sturdy enough to withstand a nerf ball.

Any Ideas?

Thanks John

Basically you'll build a kind of drum pad. So an electret microphone or piezo sensor should do the trick... Electret microphone are darn cheap... can be found almost everywhere.

Thanks Steve, I will have to think about the construction for that one for a while. I guess I could use maybe mylar for the drum head but wonder if it will stay taut enough. Generally we have 4 targets ranging from 5" to 12" in diameter. Gives me something to think about.

Thanks John
