I've used the Sharp sensors with some success. However the long range version is good to about 1.5 meters. Not sure if that's enough for you. It however will sense distance to just about any solid object, not just the retroreflective tape. It works in the infrared domain. We're planning to use it to sense the presence of a boulder in our shooter chamber.
It's an analog device so you would look at the analog sensor example to see how you might use it. It returns a voltage directly proportional to the distance to a solid object in the path of the sensor.
Hope this helped.
