Stop Shooting Paper
This video, from TA Targets, explores the pros and cons of shooting paper versus steel targets. While the title suggests paper targets are inferior, the instructor, who owns a steel target company, explains that both have distinct advantages. Paper targets excel at providing trackable hits and detailed accuracy analysis, especially at closer ranges. Steel targets, conversely, offer immediate auditory and visual feedback, enhancing training efficiency and subconscious learning at longer distances. The video demonstrates this with a Glock 19 at 30-35 yards, highlighting how steel targets instantly confirm hits, while paper targets require closer inspection and can be obscured by splatter. Ultimately, the choice depends on the training objective and distance.
