What about the body-armor-wearing target? This must be the target that Mr. Mark Wilson, God rest his soul, practiced and tested on.

(Not trying to be disrespectful of the deceased. But we operate the way we train.)

I would not presume to make such an assmption.

DPS has reason to change to this target, but first I will address the "we operate the way we train" comment. We have no idea how WIlson trained. Did he practice failure to stop drills? The type of target matters not, what DOES matter is HOW you practice on that target.

Do you practce multiple attacker drills, reload drills, failure to stop drills, clearing stoppages, moving to cover, CQB, weak hand shooting, etc?

DPS changed this target based on their investigation into the shooting involving a Trooper in Schwartz, TX. I won't get into details, but their reasoning seemed sound to me.
