Duration: 6:57

This video introduces the Kit Badger Anatomy Targets (KBATs), designed to provide a more anatomically accurate representation of the human form for firearms training compared to existing targets. The creator, Ivan from Kit Badger, explains the need for realistic targets, especially for drills like failure drills and understanding rifle offset and height over bore. The KBATs are presented as a solution to the size and indicator issues found in other popular anatomical targets.

Quick Summary

Kit Badger Anatomy Targets (KBATs) are designed to offer a more realistic representation of the human form for firearms training. Developed by Ivan from Kit Badger, they address the size and target indicator issues found in other anatomical targets, providing a clear silhouette at distance and accurate anatomical details up close for effective practice of drills like failure drills and understanding rifle offset.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Kit Badger Anatomy Targets (KBATs) and why were they created?

KBATs are anatomically correct firearms training targets developed by Kit Badger. They were created to address perceived inaccuracies in existing anatomical targets, aiming to provide a more realistic representation of the human form for effective training, especially for drills like failure drills and understanding rifle offset.

How do KBATs improve upon other anatomical targets like Viking Tactics or Sage Dynamics targets?

KBATs are designed to be more portable and practical than large Viking Tactics targets. Unlike some Sage Dynamics targets, KBATs offer a clear silhouette indicator at distance while still providing detailed, light anatomical features up close, avoiding the issue of presenting a large circle or specific organ as the primary target indicator.

What are the key features of the Kit Badger Anatomy Targets (KBATs)?

KBATs come on two 8.5x11 inch sheets. They feature a bold silhouette for target acquisition at range and lighter, anatomically correct bone structure and brainstem details visible up close. The alignment of the sheets ensures correct anatomical proportions between vital areas like the head and chest.

How can firearms instructors and shooters use the Kit Badger Anatomy Targets (KBATs)?

KBATs can be used as standard silhouette targets, with optional sharpie markings for enhanced target indicators, or creatively by cutting out the silhouette and using a shirt to mask the target, revealing impact zones after shooting. They are ideal for practicing failure drills and understanding rifle offset.
