Just an interesting target design I'd thought I'd share.
At the Washington State Tactical Championships, match director Marty Hayes had a pretty slick idea for targets.
He took "Tactical Ted" targets, suspended a bowling pin inside (via a wire through the neck) and closed off the back side of the target with plastic impregnated cardboard (the real name for that material escapes me right now).
You had to shoot the target pretty much center to rock the bowling pin, get it to knock against the back and topple the target, thus "neutralizing" the B.G.
Shooting at center mass on a T-shirt wearing torso is a little different that aiming for the "A" Zone on a piece of cardboard. (Esp. from behind cover, in a dark house, using a Surefire, while verbalizing.)
I was able to achieve one "one shot stop" with my little sissy nine, but alas, a "no shoot" was behind the B.G. and she caught lead that glanced off the bowling pin.
Other B.G.s during the course of the match took considerabley more than one shot to topple.
Maybe next year I'll shoot a "real" gun.
