Hostage target
For many reasons it is a perfectly "organized" hostage target. I have one "gripe" and one request, though, if I may:
1. The red "target" in the mid abdomen is a terrible disservice to all hostage situations. Shooting anywhere but the neuraxis (head/brain or spinal cord), let alone mid-abdomen, will instantly doom the hostage. If the actor is wearing a vest, obviously it will do nothing more than get them "mad" if you are using most handgun ammunition in use today. If they are not wearing protection, they will die a hypovolemic death - loss of blood volume - and that can take very roughly 30 - 90 SECONDS for them to pass out. By then the hostage is dead. Please please please do NOT perpetuate the myth that one should aim for the abdomen in a hostage situation such as the one depicted in these targets.
2) Wish you made a version of this target with splatter background or a way to tell what you hit without having to use glass or get close to the target to see one's hits.
Otherwise, it is actually my favorite hostage target to teach on - thank you!
