A ruggedized holder has a base unit that accepts a roll of target media. The base unit includes a first side plate and a second side plate that opposes the first side plate. Moreover, a lower deflector plate having a front facing surface extends between the first side plate and the second side plate. Also, the base unit includes an upper deflector plate that extends between the first side plate and the second side plate above the lower deflector plate. The first side plate, the second side plate, the lower deflector plate and the upper deflector plate define an enclosure that protects the roll of target media. In addition, a stand can couple to the base unit.

A system has at least one processor, a control subsystem, and an end unit with at least one image sensor. The control subsystem switches operation of the system between first and second modes. In the first mode, an image sensor captures a visible light image of a scene, and a processor analyzes the visible light image to identify a target in the scene and extract target spatial information. In the second mode, an image sensor captures a series of IR images of the scene, and a processor analyzes the IR images to identify firearm projectile strikes on the target based on the extracted spatial information and comparisons between the IR images. In certain embodiments, the same image sensor is used for visible light and IR image, and an IR filter is selectively positioned in an optical path from the scene to the image sensor according to the mode of operation.
