Large tactical paper target no.7 - sniper

Tactical target 88 x 60cm on high quality paper. Very realistic for defensive shooting training. Inside the body are also depicted internal organs for better evaluation of interventions. Price for 1pc.

Training of some special skills has very special specifications and requirements. This is most evident particularly in case of training of police and military snipers. The shooting distance is here much longer than in case of majority of other weapons and targets are incomparably more difficult due to their appearance. Besides, responsibility ensuing from necessity of action in real action can be tremendous. That’s why shooting practice of snipers requires somewhat different targets, in comparison to usual firing practice with use of pistol or machine gun.

Nevertheless, only few targets designed specifically for such training exist in practice. Apart from that the available targets are not very suitable due to their design and unrealistic appearance. Out of necessity various substitutes and even ordinary pistol targets, often just black and white, animated and not very imaginative were used. For these reasons numerous police snipers and special forces instructors called already for a long time for a completely new paper target, which would finally meet even the most demanding requirements of professional sniper training in the third millennium.

That’s why after its first successful series of tactical targets the company ESP decided to launch a completely new product, which would as much as possible suit those, whose exact shot may in real action often save many human lives. Realisation of this idea started after collection of numerous experience and valuable pieces of knowledge from all over the world. Many of top class snipers from renowned elite units and expert trainers of precise shooting at long distances participated from the very beginning in development of this new training aid. It was namely their contribution in the form of many professional consultations and practical tests to the existing design of new sniper target, which in opinion of many knowledgeable experts is one of the most successful training aids.

The part left down serves primarily for precise zeroing of the sniper’s rifle at usual 100 m. Two large correction squares serve for this purpose. The mesh on them serves for a quick correction of setting of the telescope sight and its possible correction. This is made very simple here – the number of missed fields is equal to the number of “clicks” for correcting the horizontal or vertical setting. Distance of the mesh lines conforms to two most frequently used systems of telescope sights’ cross hair – one square has shifts of 1 cm for 100 m, the other square enables correction by one quarter of MOA (minute of angle) for 100 m.

Use of the system is the following: the sniper chooses the appropriate square in dependence on the type of his telescope sight and he then very easily zeroes his gone by the manner described above. He then shoots at the second target in order to verify precision of his rifle. Both targets have not only the central cross hair with central circle and point, but also additional highlighted corners. They enable much better comprehension of telescope sight cross hair on the target. All this helps to get much more perfect comparison of several elements both horizontally and vertically. According to opinion of many renowned experts exactly this execution of the zeroing target was verified to lead to higher precision of shooting. Other five small targets with central cross serve for verification of the required precision of zeroing. They are made in a form of circle with diameter of 1 MOA (minute of angle), since scatter of hits for majority of modern rifles of this class at a distance of 100 m standardly be larger than exactly this area.
