Anatomy Matters: Reid's Recommended Paper Targets for Training and Practice

[@ForgingFreedomTV]

Excellent!! As a female, I find the lack of ego and your obvious desire to really teach so refreshing. So rare in some gun circles. I've learned so much for your vids. Thank you Reid 👍 😊

[@fullbloodskater]

Reid just gets straight to the point he's so humble and soft spoken he is a great rifleman and teacher keep up the amazing videos and works please.

[@andyprairiedog]

I have and like the "bowling pin" target. Can see hits clearly....day or night (flashlight). I like the triple bull idea of top being the slowest group and the lower being the fastest group and standing/kneeling/prone for each bull. Thank you for the idea of the triple bull, Reid......you're a good Man.

[@Frank7G]

when i run out of targets i like to use old desk calendars you can come up with good fun games and the squares are small as it is to help with accuracy. helped me zero in my Ruger bolt gun

[@elvisammo]

very well thought out. sense of purpose, and Thanks for your hard work and patriotism! God Bless!

[@poppabear9279]

Reid, Long long term fan here, back when you worked for the narcissist in chief. Bud, I really miss your "The fighting mindset of our founding fathers" series... 6 parts, all stripped off of youtube. There's only one part remaining. I use to send friends the links to these videos. They were absolutely brilliant. Classroom structure, etc. Can you PLEASE do another 6 part series on this? Whoever stripped them off youtube did the community a massive disservice. People would watch these a lot. I have sent this same message 2 times.. not sure if you read comments section or not. Thanks!

[@KikiRevenge]

Getting all nostalgic watching this. Can't wait to shoot at these targets at VR again!

[@tompewterpower]

Love the Emerson T-shirt Reid! Thanks for the helpful video-like always.

[@MJFacas]

I very much agree. Mix it up and it is about a balance of speed and accuracy. Emerson Knives rock. Carried one for close to two decades here and working overseas. Solid choice from a real fighter.

[@rockhopper01]

Right after attending Rifleman I last year I googled "Valor Ridge Targets" because I loved them. I found em on LE Targets. I bought 500, so well stocked!

[@andrewfeldman3334]

Bought some last month. We were out on the range last week having a blast with them.

[@devildog1989]

I've used the USMC table 2 silhouettes since I was in. t-box for the head, 10 inch vital zone and a pelvic girdle

[@thegreenman2030]

Appreciate the knowledge as well as the links to these targets which are pretty affordable when ordered in quantities of 25+. Keep up the excellent work.

[@nightfury6836]

Reid is #1!! Ya need to take a class?! Valor Ridge is your place 😉

[@andypalm7061]

once again,great intel we can live by.

[@huntfishcreatehenrich4602]

Great targets, even better last name!

[@johnlindsay3647]

most people don't come with print it on target areas so working without a target paper just shooting a blank sheet and keeping your gripping tight is the best way to do it are you at my way picking the limbs off of pine tree oronoque thing on which one in the round that's what I used to do for fun was picked limbs off of pine trees with a 22

[@EVLfreak666]

i like the first target, most realistic looking for checking that your guns can do minute of man.

[@Unit38]

Excellent video, stay strong dude.

[@PracticallySquared1]

Reid, i would really like to see a video on what you think is the best 308 battle rifle. Do you like the scar? Dpms g2 that Yager loves, or do you still think the Fal is still king?

[@rls303]

Nice. Thanks for the links

[@michaellott7170]

keep on teaching buddy

[@lonestarprepper0156]

thanks for your direct useful vids.

[@Lonzo993]

Would love to see some pump shotgun stuff.

[@billyburd789]

Lonzo993 yawn

[@billyburd789]

[@brianp5564]

All good, points are made without manly theater.

[@chancepaladin]

Love it! :D

[@theone-so9br]

I noticed your targets are not set as high as an average man (5'-10"). What height would you recommend for the top of the target?

[@CharlieJulietSierra]

Hey Reid, I was looking over the training schedule and could not see far enough in advance for my own interest. I am looking for a pistol class anywhere in January or early February 2018, plus a medical 101 class. Is it possible to book that far in advance? Thanks.

[@ReidHenrichs]

We don't teach January or February. Our entire 2018 schedule is up on our website, directly linked in the description box.

[@OldPackMule]

3366 drill. 3 rounds, 3 seconds, 6" circle, from 6 yards.

[@PeaceManBro]

OldPackMule From draw?

[@CommonSensePoet]

I'm still miffed about the change from big dot sights. I should of followed my gut on that one.

[@patriot_III_tinman]

Certainly a more accurate depiction, than the B27 Silhouette.

[@springbloom5940]

We used to train on the best target in LE, the TX-PT. Then we found that in the real world, officers were shooting high and missing. Now we use a B series and that doesnt happen anymore. Anatomy doesnt matter, shooting at the center of the target, however it presents, whatever shape or size it is, matters. Sorry, but no matter how hard you train, if youre able to shoot a tight, accurate group in combat, you arent running fast enough, or the target isnt much of a threat.

[@Richard-wz9uh]

I've never understood the triangle over the bridge of the nose. I'm a physician and absolutely understand that a shot to the brain stem is the BEST place to put a hole in someone to incapacitate them. However, you then have a box over the heart and lungs. A hole in the heart and/or lungs will eventually incapacitate an attacker but MUCH slower than a shot to the cerebrum. Why isn't there a highlighted target over the frontal skull bones? And if we are taking anatomy why aren't shots to the pelvis more emphasized by trainers? You've got several large vessels (abdominal aorta and bilateral iliac vessels) that are going to exsanguinate an attacker almost as quickly as a shot to the aorta would and body armor typically doesn't cover the pelvis. I think the pelvis is an excellent tertiary target to train to shoot. And I definitely think shots through the frontal skull bones into the cerebrum on a forward facing attacker should be more emphasized than high center chest shots.

[@Win94ae]

My targets are most like the forth one.

[@mikeyob4271]

👍

[@benjaminlacasse1466]

How much are you paying for the triple bullseye targets? You can get NRA repair centers for $.18 each if you order in bulk. So if it's more than .$54 a target for the triples you would be better off cost wise and versatility wise buying the repair centers.

[@ReidHenrichs]

.25 a piece. The hard work has already been done for you.

[@tuncwl]

look almost identical to the vtac target. Nice though.

[@jordanaug81]

Has anyone on youtube done the lethal weapon smiley face?? I see a "smiley face challenge" coming.

[@patrickkt423]

9 dollar shipping on a 5 dollar order for the targets

[@TheGnewb]

I do not think Mr Alvin York ever used a human silhouette target and it did not hamper his heroics in any way.

[@105mmshooter9]

Well York could kill a rat at 50 yards so it didn’t matter.

[@earthsurfer13]

I prefer to use a picture of my ex wife.

[@rickypastille]

Anywhere straight down the middle of the body, in a strip about 5" wide, will work too, by severing the spine. The scumbag may live, but he'll be out of the fight for the rest of his miserable life.

[@amoledor]

I can tell you, your anatomy of the heart/thoracic is off. It’s about 3” too high. That target is great for someone wearing plates but not your normal attackers. The head is fine.
