Mix & Match
This target depicts a deceptive interior encounter involving two intruders inside a residential living space. The front individual advances directly toward the shooter while presenting a set of keys, creating the appearance of compliance, surrender, or non-threatening intent. His posture and movement demand restraint, visual discipline, and threat confirmation.
Behind him, a second male occupies deeper interior space and is armed with a handgun. This rear threat introduces a delayed but lethal danger that is easy to miss if the shooter becomes fixated on the closer individual.

This target depicts a deceptive interior encounter involving two intruders inside a residential living space. The front individual advances directly toward the shooter while presenting a set of keys, creating the appearance of compliance, surrender, or non-threatening intent. His posture and movement demand restraint, visual discipline, and threat confirmation.
Behind him, a second male occupies deeper interior space and is armed with a handgun. This rear threat introduces a delayed but lethal danger that is easy to miss if the shooter becomes fixated on the closer individual.
The scene reflects a realistic and dangerous pattern seen in real-world home invasions, where deception, role-splitting, and misdirection are used to draw attention away from the true lethal threat.
This target is designed to train shooters to resist proximity bias and emotional distraction while maintaining full situational awareness inside a confined residential environment. Shooters must visually process both individuals, confirm actual threat status, and avoid premature engagement based solely on distance or perceived intent.
The scenario reinforces disciplined decision-making when a non-armed individual is used as visual cover or distraction for an armed accomplice.
Kill zones are applied exclusively to the rear male, who is armed and represents the confirmed lethal threat. These zones support post-engagement evaluation of hit placement, threat recognition, and engagement discipline.
The forward individual intentionally contains no kill zones, reinforcing the requirement for threat confirmation and preventing conditioning toward automatic engagement of the closest subject.
All zones are integrated for structured after-action review and instructor-led analysis following execution.
This target pairs exceptionally well with CQB-HD-HOS-033. Both targets feature the same environment and individuals but reverse threat presentation and engagement priority. Used together, they create a powerful training progression that highlights how small visual changes dramatically alter decision-making requirements.
This target is ideal for live-fire, dry-fire, and force-on-paper drills focused on residential defense, deception recognition, and multi-subject threat evaluation. It works well as part of a structured CQB or home defense curriculum emphasizing judgment over speed.
If you want more reps on the same type of scenario, pair this target with Two-Man Interior Advance Dual Threat Shooting Target, Two-Man Residential Entry Rear Gunman Threat Shooting Target, and Two-Man Residential Entry Armed Threat Shooting Target.
