Like the title says. If you are using the Hornady HiT hit indicators, how are you attaching them to the posts/targets?

Where are you attaching it?
I run PRS22 matches and my friend runs centerfire. We use T-posts to hang most targets. Strapping it the the t post is a sure way to have it shot off before the match is over. I used an offset wooden piece to try and avoid spall and lost 4 of 5 to being shot off.
Here’s what I did:
The above were the first version. I made them taller for the last match and had worse luck.
I like these indicators but they are way too sensitive. They indicate when a competitor hits the post instead of the steel target. Also, if you have a multiple array of targets hanging off a common shaft, hitting one target sets off the others on that array.
As to physically mounting them on the steel itself I drilled two holes in the target and mounted a peice of conduit about 12” and mounted the indicator on that. Conduit sticks out 7” at 2 oclock.

I agree that they are very sensitive. Which works somewhat better for long range .22rf use but is a bigger issue with centerfire.
