Lots of folks are starting to talk 8.6 Creedmoor (although I think it should be called 8.6 Blackout) and that it is really just 338 Federal, renamed. Kit Badger is all over this and has produced this video to discuss the issue.
Ivan of Kit Badger saw the commercial offerings for firearm targets, and felt he could do better. So, he came up with the Kit Badger Anatomy Targets, or KBATs. KBATs are designed to be flexible in application, with appropriate anatomical dimensions, and a design that reads well within 50 yards. The target set consists of both a head sheet and thoracic cavity sheet, which can either be used stand-alone or in tandem to spruce up a standard target silhouette, especially useful during ‘failure drills’, when transitioning the proper vertical distance between the head and chest is paramount.
Kit Badger Anatomy Targets can either be downloaded as a .pdf at the link below, or ordered on Kit Badger’s webstore, or through Amazon.
In this post from Kit Badger, Ivan shares this video he created while attending the Viking Tactics NightFighter 101 course at SIG Academy.
He sent us this note:
This is the first shooting course review I have done, but I plan to do more. Shooting courses are one of those high ticket items between tuition, ammo, travel, etc. And I think by bringing some honest reviews of them I can hopefully save some people time and money by pointing them in the direction of the training / experience that they will get the most out of.
Kit Badger posted an article on how to tell if your rifle is overgassed or undergassed, as well as how to address it by tuning a Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block. As always, he created a video.
