Mix & Match
The Storage Unit Armed Confrontation Shooting Target depicts a direct, high-risk public self-defense encounter in a confined commercial storage facility corridor. The subject stands squarely in the shooter’s path with a handgun presented at eye level, framed by narrow walkways, metal doors, and hard structural surfaces that restrict movement and amplify risk.
This target represents a rapidly escalating confrontation with minimal environmental cover and limited lateral escape options. The shooter must process a clear lethal threat while managing tunnel vision, shot accountability, and precision under pressure in a tight, linear space.

The Storage Unit Armed Confrontation Shooting Target depicts a direct, high-risk public self-defense encounter in a confined commercial storage facility corridor. The subject stands squarely in the shooter’s path with a handgun presented at eye level, framed by narrow walkways, metal doors, and hard structural surfaces that restrict movement and amplify risk.
This target represents a rapidly escalating confrontation with minimal environmental cover and limited lateral escape options. The shooter must process a clear lethal threat while managing tunnel vision, shot accountability, and precision under pressure in a tight, linear space.
Storage facilities, garages, and similar semi-public corridors create unique defensive challenges. The geometry is restrictive, sound and movement echo, and available cover is minimal or nonexistent. When a firearm is presented directly in these environments, reaction time is compressed and errors are unforgiving.
This target is designed to train shooters to respond decisively to a confirmed lethal threat while maintaining discipline in shot placement and awareness of backdrop risk. The straight-on orientation removes ambiguity, shifting the training focus from threat identification to execution, control, and accountability.
The scenario reinforces the reality that some public encounters offer no warning and no room for repositioning—only the ability to act correctly, immediately.
This target includes defined evaluation zones intended for post-engagement assessment and training review.
Modified cranial T-box
The cranial zone is based on the conventional T-box but expands upward into the upper forehead region. This area corresponds to neurological structures responsible for immediate incapacitation. The zone supports evaluation of precision and timing during high-threat, time-compressed encounters.
Cardiac box
The cardiac box represents the heart and upper vascular structures responsible for rapid circulatory shutdown. This zone allows evaluation of effective center-mass shot placement and physiological incapacitation when cranial shots are not immediately achievable.
Both zones are intended for after-action analysis to assess accuracy, decision timing, and outcome effectiveness.
Many shooting targets rely on exaggerated motion or dynamic angles to create difficulty. This target does the opposite.
The threat is obvious, centered, and unavoidable. The difficulty lies in executing under pressure in a restrictive environment where every round fired carries elevated risk due to hard surfaces and confined geometry.
By removing ambiguity and movement complexity, this target isolates execution errors—trigger control, sight alignment, hesitation, and poor shot placement—making it a powerful diagnostic training tool.
This target is most effective when paired with deliberate pacing and structured debriefs focused on accuracy, timing, and decision quality.
