Frequently Asked Questions

How do STKY Targets help with training for body armor?

STKY Targets offer specialized body armor cutouts that allow shooters to practice engaging vital areas like the neck and face, bypassing the ballistic protection of body armor. This is crucial for scenarios where a direct hit to the torso might be ineffective.

What are low-percentage shots in firearms training?

Low-percentage shots are aimed at smaller, less vital areas of the body that are harder to hit, especially under stress or when the target is armored. Examples include shots to the neck, face, or specific nerve bundles in the clavicle area, which can still incapacitate a threat.

How do STKY Targets improve target identification?

STKY Targets feature various indicators, such as media banners for 'no-shoot' targets and distinct threat representations (like explosive vests), forcing shooters to rapidly identify and discriminate between different target types before engaging.

What is the benefit of using STKY Targets for CQB training?

STKY Targets simulate complex CQB scenarios by offering targets with specific threat indicators and allowing for quick scenario changes. This helps train shooters to make split-second decisions regarding target engagement, deconfliction, and threat assessment in confined spaces.
