Given that we cannot predict how an attacker may present themselves to us, should we not simply train to use the tool to the best of our ability (I.e. Small groups at speed) and then explain the anatomy and physiology of what we are really aiming at?
Awerbuck, in my limited civilian non-LE experience, explained it best and can be summarized as shooting for a golf ball buried in the head and a softball buried in the chest, and he then goes on to explain what that means and index points on the body when the attacker plenty anything other than a squared-up posture.
He also went on to discuss what to shoot for, in order of priority, when those balls aren't available.
Kit Badger KBATS are pretty good. When he first came up with them, he posted about them on another site. He emailed several forum members the files so we could print our own. I dont know if he still gives the files away, but you can buy printed pads of them on his site or amazon. He has a side view head as well, but I dont see it offerred on either site:
