Wow!!! How do they add up the score on the new target? That is strange. I am curious about why also.tbrown wrote:Worse, the CHL qualification target rewards students for shooting less effective areas of the torso.Excaliber wrote:In a real fight when everyone is moving and shooting, both skill and luck are needed to put a round in a place that instantly drops the opponent. That's why it doesn't happen often, and one shot stops are the exception rather than the rule when facing a determined, deranged, or drugged up adversary.
The old CHL target wasn't perfect but it was a lot better than current targets.
Does anyone know why DPS switched to a less anatomically relevant target? It seems like a step backwards for good training.

I have watched 135 pound whitetail deer run over a hundred yards after having the heart blown out by a 30.06.

Re: 17 center mass hits with a .40 and still alive
The only problem with the head shot is the risk of missing increases greatly. You can also shoot a guy in the head and not get a instant kill. I think most officers are trained to go for COM shots. Once the whole instinct/training thing kicks in, I bet they are on auto pilot.PUCKER wrote:WOW!! Sounds like a few head shots would have gone a longgggggggg waaaaaaaayyyyyyy!

Wow!!! These stories just keep on popping up! Like I said the last time. It gives me serious pause about my Kahr P380. Heck... it makes a feller wonder about his 9mm.
