New Center Mass Target

[PieterCoetzee]

Doing a google search, I came across these:

Headshots change minds...


My thinking (and what I have learned from others with more medical and practical experience), is that a "good" hit is from the eyebrows down to the chin and inside the left/right of the eyebrows. This works for the side and rear as well using the top of ears as an indicator.

Above the eyebrows (Dome of the Head), may still be a good shot BUT it brings the curvature of the bone into the process, and the question of will your round be deflected into play. Plus there is a greater "Lights OUT" potential using the Eyebrow Indicators. Target #3 (red triangle) is more rifle/sniper oriented and so Im told an unnecessarily small target size.

Heres a Counter Terror course I found that may be helpful:

CT Pistol Qualification
• 25 Yards: 3 Rounds to the face in FOUR seconds
• 15 Yards: 3 Rounds to the face in THREE seconds
• 10 Yards: 3 Rounds to the face THREE seconds
• 7 Yards: 3 Rounds to the face THREE seconds
• 5 Yards: 3 Rounds to the face TWO seconds
• 3 Yards: 3 Rounds to the face TWO seconds
***Shooting on the move from 10 Yards (one shot for each step) FOUR rounds to the body, THREE rounds to the face
Total of 25 rounds.

Its not easy, especially if you are used to only taking chest shots. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. Start closer if you need but try to work out to 25 yards

Now before anyone says the mugger with a Walmart steak knife at 3 yards is more likely... my question is how did he get that close without you maneuvering away?

If youre pumping gas and cant move, then a spritz of unleaded is a better option than a shot at that range AND if shooting becomes necessary then introduce him to the fun he missed in chemistry class.. gas fumes plus muzzle flash equals toasted meth head.

And the muzzle flash blows the gas station up, hey, you got em!

If only they would sell targets of politicians. they couldn't print enough of em. but then again, that may cause more murder attempts so probably not a good idea.

Hahaha yeah probably not. Heck I recall when "they" bitched about the all black B27 targets as being racist. Suddenly PDs switched to green targets. I guess thatll be OK until we start having Martians visiting without visas Whats most annoying is that "we" put up with that nonsense. Every time "we" give in it makes "them" stronger" and "us" weaker

I went to a PD rifle course and we had actual photos but they made a point of saying these were pics of people that agreed to have their pics used as targets. We were briefed on the hostage and bad guys before making entry

Just sign this consent form and you can get out today or if you don't want to, you can stay for the rest of your 72 hour hold........it's up to you!

Don't know about the "Us & Them" but the Green silhouette is much easier for me to see hits, especially at distance. I prefer green dot over red as well. The Green appears more crisp and easier much easier acquisition. A club member was telling me about a "Gold" dot from Holosun that pops. Sometimes things change simply for the enhancement. I do like the bottom target. Where was it purchased

yeah, i know what you mean...at the public range, they do not allow ANY target with a likeness of a real person.....

it had better be a caricature drawing of a thug, no likeness to a real humanoid whatsoever.

Ive been to ranges like that. The "secret" there is paper plates. Get good on the regular size then switch to desert size.
