A-zooms aluminum snapcaps cost $14 for two, if these hold up, what do y'all think they'd be worth? I'm leaning a little bit more then the A-zooms. Because brass. But at the same time I started this project because I wanted to make a snapcap for cheaper then A-zoom and better/more durable then Tiptons. They'll still be massively cheaper then some of the exotic snapcaps like Westley Richards.

The Sampler Target Pack consists of ten of each of the following targets:

Kill Zone Target

Dartboard Target

Essential Target

IQ Pistol Target

IQ Rifle Target

Hitman Target

GTG Baseline Target

Active Shooter Target

Keyhole Target

Iceman Target

Giant M1 Garand Training Aid

The photographs above show the scaled up demonstration models used to instruct soldiers and marines on how their M1 Garand rifles worked. The training aids were approximately 2 or 3 times larger than an actual M1 Garand and were made out of aluminium and wood. 

The graphic training aid rifles were 86 inches (218cm) in overall length and had their right side cut away and marked out with red paint to show the functioning inner workings of the rifle including the gas system, op rod, magazine and trigger mechanism.

The US Army had a series of enlarged training aids which were used at infantry schools, training camps and ordnance training centres. These were instrumental in classes teaching troops how weapon’s fit together and worked and familiarising soldiers with the principles behind how the weapons functioned.

The Defense Target

**IMPORTANT** Defense Target Stickers are sold separately.

The Defense Target is designed to give you an enhanced training experience by offering one target that can be customized with 18 fitted stickers. This allows the target to be used in multiple different scenarios.  Available sticker areas include:

Left Hand

Right Hand

Waistline

A Unique Shooting Target

Each sticker is designed to perfectly match up with the target's hands or waistline to create a new target scenario that appears natural to the shooter.  This allows instructors to take one target and change scenarios rapidly. This keeps students from making engagement decisions without assessing the target- because they memorized the targets after performing multiple runs.  

The Defense Target matches with 18 different stickers (sold separately). These stickers overlay on the right hand, left hand and waistline seamlessly.  These durable 3 Mil stickers allow for hundreds of target variations.  Stickers are designed to be usable while wearing gloves.

Target Scoring

The Defense Target's scoring areas are designed to be as close to the average human's anatomy as possible.  The "5" head box measures the average width and height of a human head while the "5" heart box is purposefully offset slightly right (target's left) and sized to the average human heart.  Both "5" areas are designed to mimic a kill zone. The "4" zones match the average lung size and pelvic girdle area and are designed to mimic a shot in which death is probable but not guaranteed.  The "3" represents the outline of the average human body and represents an area where death is possible but not likely.

The Essentials Shooting Target is designed to give you an essential set of drills that will maintain your current proficiency level. The drill takes 150 rounds to complete and covers multiple aspects of pistol marksmanship to include slow aimed fire, weak and and off hand shooting, target transition, trigger speed changes, drawing, magazine reloads and controlled multiple shot groups.  Hands down this is one of the best shooting targets to improve your marksmanship.
