Convenience Store Counter Robbery – Close-Range Threat Recognition Shooting Target

This target depicts a high-stress convenience store robbery unfolding at arm’s length across a checkout counter. A hooded assailant presents a handgun directly at the clerk while demanding compliance, with shelves of merchandise, tight aisles, and limited maneuvering space defining the environment. The scene reflects a common real-world criminal encounter where violence can erupt suddenly and distances are dangerously short.

The confined layout, direct line of fire, and presence of bystanders just outside the frame force the shooter to process threat cues quickly while maintaining strict accountability. There are no visual aiming aids built into this target, reinforcing decision-making based on observation, posture, and behavior rather than predefined scoring zones.


Training Purpose

Retail robberies are among the most frequent armed criminal encounters faced by civilians and responding officers alike. This target is designed to train rapid threat recognition, situational awareness, and disciplined judgment under extreme proximity.

The shooter must assess intent, distance, and environment without relying on artificial kill zones, making this target especially valuable for realism-driven training and instructor-led discussion.


Skills Reinforced

  • Threat recognition at close-contact distances
  • Visual processing of weapon presentation and posture
  • Decision-making under time compression
  • Accountability in confined commercial spaces
  • Awareness of background clutter and bystander risk
  • Stress management during direct confrontations

Why This Target Is Different

Many shooting targets simplify encounters into open spaces with clear sightlines and obvious scoring areas. This target intentionally removes those crutches.

By presenting a realistic retail environment with no marked engagement zones, the target demands that shooters rely on judgment, discipline, and contextual awareness. It encourages thoughtful engagement decisions rather than reflexive responses.


Recommended Use

  • Concealed carry defensive training
