Mix & Match
This target depicts a male intruder advancing aggressively inside a residential kitchen while wielding a fixed-blade knife in a forward, dominant grip. The subject’s posture, facial expression, and forward momentum clearly indicate imminent lethal intent at close distance.
The kitchen environment introduces hard surfaces, tight movement lanes, and limited retreat options. Countertops, appliances, and narrow walkways compress reaction time and force decisive action. This scenario reflects the reality that edged-weapon attacks inside the home often unfold rapidly and at distances where hesitation carries severe consequences.

This target depicts a male intruder advancing aggressively inside a residential kitchen while wielding a fixed-blade knife in a forward, dominant grip. The subject’s posture, facial expression, and forward momentum clearly indicate imminent lethal intent at close distance.
The kitchen environment introduces hard surfaces, tight movement lanes, and limited retreat options. Countertops, appliances, and narrow walkways compress reaction time and force decisive action. This scenario reflects the reality that edged-weapon attacks inside the home often unfold rapidly and at distances where hesitation carries severe consequences.
A modified T-box and cardiac box are integrated to support precision evaluation following engagement.
This target is designed to train rapid threat recognition and decisive response to an advancing edged-weapon attack in a confined residential space. It reinforces the ability to process distance, speed, and body mechanics while maintaining accuracy under extreme pressure.
The emphasis is on controlling the encounter quickly while managing angles, obstacles, and compressed reaction windows typical of kitchen environments.
The modified T-box and cardiac box are included to support precise post-engagement assessment of shot placement and decision quality. Their placement reflects realistic incapacitation zones for an advancing knife threat at close distance without encouraging artificial aiming behavior.
Well suited for home defense training, CQB decision blocks, instructor-led scenario drills, and individual practice focused on edged-weapon encounters inside residential structures. Effective for reinforcing decisive action in spaces where movement and time are severely limited.
If you want more reps on the same type of scenario, pair this target with Stairwell Advancing Intruder With Cell Phone Shooting Target, Stairwell Armed Intruder Home Defense Shooting Target, and Interior Three-Man Misdirection & Armed Threat Shooting Target.
