I think it's BS. I do hope the "school age girl" with the back pack is actually 19. I'd like to meet her. LOL

This story is a 100% made up! Everyone should know that; I mean, its so obvious that it was written by one of Obama's cyber warriors on Operation Thunderdome!

I have bought targets from them, but not like the ones in the post. Although they do sell a variety of targets, they sell to anybody, civilians and LEO's alike.

Yeah, these aren't "DHS training targets", they're training targets sold by someone that sells targets to various agencies (and people, like me :wave: ), including DHS.
Now, when you have a purchase order from DHS for 250k "mom in the park" targets, let me know. I mean, they have to use all those bullets they're purchasing somehow. :whistle:

And, when the website comes back up, I'd be fairly willing to bet that those targets will be gone. We'll see. :coffee:

You know what we should use as targets?

Playing cards.

Aim small, miss small.

That's actually one of the targets they sell. :clap:
Works great for on command targeting.

I buy my targets from the Dollar Tree. Two packs of 52 cards for a buck, plus jokers...

You get a roll of scotch tape there as well... Three bucks? Some junk cardboard...

You drill with playing cards.... you get quick. Richard Marcinko told that to be a fact.

When you hit them, they puff. Also, if you use a shotgun and don't reload for them, laying the shells brass forward also make good targets.

As for being a shootin' machine, ty for the compliment. I consistently have 2" one shot groups at 15 yards with my sig 1911-22.

I like the look of those dueling trees and Duncan hostage targets from Redstitch awfully well. Be a mite harder to carry around than a bag of empty cans, though.............

Well, it's not really a group... it's just one shot an' that's how big the bullet is. :blush:
