Reactive targets designed for firearms training offer immediate visual feedback upon impact. This feedback typically manifests as a highly visible color change (often fluorescent) or a cloud of dust, confirming shot placement and allowing for rapid adjustments to aim. These targets are available in various forms, including adhesive stickers, pastes, and pre-printed paper or cardboard.
The immediate confirmation provided by these targets significantly enhances shooting proficiency. This is particularly valuable for practicing rapid target acquisition and refining accuracy under stress. The clear visual impact indication aids in diagnosing shooting errors and allows for immediate corrective action, accelerating the learning process. Historically, shooters relied on manually examining paper targets downrange, a time-consuming and less precise method. The development of reactive targets has revolutionized firearms training, making practice more efficient and effective.
