RE Factor Tactical – Defense Target

Friday, March 22nd, 2019

The Defense Target

The Defense Target is designed to give you an enhanced training experience by offering one target that can be customized with 18 fitted stickers. This allows the target to be used in multiple different scenarios. Available sticker areas include:

Left Hand

Right Hand

Waistline

A Unique Shooting Target

Each sticker is designed to perfectly match up with the target’s hands or waistline to create a new target scenario that appears natural to the shooter. This allows instructors to take one target and change scenarios rapidly. This keeps students from making engagement decisions without assessing the target- because they memorized the targets after performing multiple runs.

The Defense Target matches with 18 different stickers (sold separately). These stickers overlay on the right hand, left hand and waistline seamlessly. These durable 3 Mil stickers allow for hundreds of target variations. Stickers are designed to be usable while wearing gloves.

Target Scoring

The Defense Target’s scoring areas are designed to be as close to the average human’s anatomy as possible. The “5” head box measures the average width and height of a human head while the “5” heart box is purposefully offset slightly right (target’s left) and sized to the average human heart. Both “5” areas are designed to mimic a kill zone. The “4” zones match the average lung size and pelvic girdle area and are designed to mimic a shot in which death is probable but not guaranteed. The “3” represents the outline of the average human body and represents an area where death is possible but not likely.
