I guess people have different perspectives and motivation.
I think the original target isn't a good one with respect to the B-zone placement. If you're on the upper edge of that zone, you can get "good hits" and not hit anything vital the way it's drawn.
It's not rocket surgery to flip the B-zone circle to the lower part of the C-zone and is objectively a more anatomic location if you're going for upper heart / great vessels.
If I don't print targets, does that make the target in question less wrong?
People are saying they want to target the upper heart and great vessels. Sure, I'll buy that.
But the B-zone is still too high and optimally would be either extending towards the bottom of their C or moved lower.
But with regard to products on the market, I linked the
3D Birchwood Casey cardboard targets that when shipping is accounted for are only ~$0.50 more than the ShootSteel ones.
So that's my productive contribution.
The ShootSteel target isn't good IMHO from an anatomical perspective. It could be made better with a flip of the B-zone circle. I did give that feedback to the company.
And I showed an alternate target that would be better from a training standpoint at nominal extra cost.
You guys know that a number of students will take your word as gospel. I'd want my word to be as close to truth and accurate as possible, personally.
