Archery target

Projects General Guidance

I love computers! I love archery!

I'm wondering if I could make an Arduino project that would turn on a light if you hit the archery target in the bulls-eye.

Not sure if it would need some sort of motion sensor(s) or a mesh in the bulls-eye that the arrow contacts.

Any ideas on how I could do this?

Thanks,

Hello Reddirt,

Yes it can be done. You could simply add a switch underneath the bulls eye circle and sense it with an Arduino, then turn an LED ON accordingly. Ofcourse there are tons of other ways to do it too tough..

capacitive sensor to detect the metal point?

  • wouldnt that 'ruin' the switch when a bullseye is actually made?

I cannot see what an Arduino has to do with this.

Unless you perhaps want the indicator light to blink.
