I read about shot placement in an FBI article, and it discussed this type of target.
"Economical, three-dimensional reaction targets made of cardboard to resemble a torso are available. These targets, suspended by heavy string or cord to one or two inflated balloons inside the body of the device, can become lifelike by placing old clothing, such as a shirt or jacket, on the exterior. When one or both of the bal loons are struck by a bullet, the balloon pops and the target drops from its suspended position. Such an exercise emphasizes that the officer must aim at a distinct spot on the torso to achieve incapacitation, rather than merely shooting at the entire target."
My girlfriends father LE, and I think he would benefit from this training. (me too) Have any of you guys heard about the three dimensional cardboard target that they are referring to?
Here is a link to the article. It's a good read. It's about half way down on the page, titled
"One-Shot Drops
Surviving the Myth
By ANTHONY J. PINIZZOTTO, Ph.D., HARRY A. KERN, M.Ed., and EDWARD F. DAVIS, M.S."
