Longshot Target Cameras
About Longshot Target Cameras
Longshot Target Cameras was founded in 2012-2013 by Clay Rhoden, Richard Rhoden, and James Hoffman out of frustration during a range session.
The founders became tired of walking downrange repeatedly to check targets when Clay couldn't see his shots at 100 yards with his new rifle topped with a 4x ACOG.
Instead of buying a traditional spotting scope, Clay assembled a revolutionary system of cameras connected to Wi-Fi and batteries in 2013.
The company set out to solve the problem of ELR (Extreme Long Range) shooters being handicapped by the inability to see their impacts at extreme distances.
Today, Longshot operates from Pearland, Texas and is changing the way people think about shooting, hunting, and training with their innovative camera systems.
