Not a bad training target system.

I like that.

So simple.

A better hit visual (contrasting color after hit, for example) would be about the only improvement I can think of.

Thanks for posting this Joe, we are very interested in getting some feedback!

Noted. Thanks

I love this.

We need these, Joe.

I think everybody needs those - whether they know it yet or not.

Outbreak · « **Reply #6 on:** February 26, 2012, 12:22:18 AM »

What is that material?

I think I'm going to order a bunch and use them for the May 26th Defensive Pistol class. I think our old Zombie Targets will go away. I like the replaceable sections on these.

HMPlatinum · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2012, 04:15:49 PM »

Zombie targets with replaceable hit locations, and brighter "hit" visual?

GeorgeHill · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2012, 05:50:10 PM »

Naw... I'm done with Zombie Targets right now.

Here is the link to the store http://www.myutahccw.com/products/. We have thought about some zombie versions, but I wonder if the zombie craze has passed.

Erm. My antivirus threw an alert on your link : Exploit/JS:Blacole.CH - maybe from your server, maybe from the adserver you link to.

Yup. My AV blocked it... There is a problem on that site.
The Zombie thing is overdone... but it's still cool if done right.

I'm thinking we even rename your zombie drill. It's a fantastic drill but zombies are, like you said, overdone.

Thernlund · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2012, 08:59:37 PM »

This is a cool system. For a small raise in the price of a class, this system looks like it would add a ton of options.

Great system.

I wonder if you can get your money's worth out of it in a one-day course.

Cardboard must be replaced, but targets for the whole class plus a roll or two of masking tape to cover the holes gotta be cheaper than this.

Thernlund · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2012, 09:38:50 PM »

Make a $200 class $220? Put 600 to 800 rounds into it? On the outside it doesn't sound bad.

Outbreak · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2012, 09:57:55 PM »

Yeah, but after a hundred rounds on each layer, you can't really see where your hits are going. If you have some folks who can shoot well, you'll just eat out the center of each target.

Thernlund · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:15:09 PM »

I know what you're saying. But to my mind, if the vital zone of your target is eaten out and you're not producing holes in there peripheral area (ie. missing) during further shooting, then you're still putting rounds in the right place for defensive shooting, eh? Do you really need to see a hole for every shot?

Outbreak · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:16:42 PM »

I prefer to.

Afterwards, anyway. I never look for my hits when I'm shooting, but I like to bring the target back or go downrange and see where I hit. It helps in learning to call your shots.

Gundoc · « **Reply #22 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:41:15 PM »

I'm getting more skeptical on these. They're on to something with them for sure. However...

Outbreak · « **Reply #23 on:** February 26, 2012, 11:17:09 PM »

I just don't see paying $20 for one target that I'm going to intentionally destroy and throw away when I can buy 50 cardboard IPSC (silhouette) targets and a roll of masking tape for less.

I'm just not seeing the advantage to the expensive ones.

Thernlund · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2012, 12:13:43 AM »

There isn't any to YOU buying them.

But for an instructor teaching a high-level class, it's easy to roll the price in to the class fee and it adds to the air of professionalism.

Like it or not, aesthetics matter.
