Targets make a big difference when it comes to your defensive firearms training. \\xa0Targets are more than measurement tools for recording your hits and misses. \\xa0When used properly, they can also help you to recognize when scenarios require you to shoot and when they don\'t and even force you to think in ways that are similar to the ways you will need to in a real life violent encounter.

The folks at Hill and Mac Gunworks\\xa0seem to have taken the steel target and refined it. \\xa0Steel targets provide great auditory feedback and targets that fall give some good visual feedback as well. \\xa0

Steel targets aren\'t without their difficulties though. \\xa0If they are steel, they make lead and copper fly and with poor design that can be a problem.

If the targets are reactive, they need to be reset which takes time.

And neither of these points addresses the fact that typical steel targets don\'t address the fact that visual stimulation of the need to shoot is left out of the equation.

Hill and MAc Steel Target Systmes are certainly worth a look if you are searching for steel targets for defensive firearms training.

I haven\'t yet had the opportunity to shoot a HMG target, but with the experience I have with shooting steel, the targets are certainly promising. \\xa0Their design increases safety and at the same time provides convienience.

The available accessories are also an important factor.\\xa0 The targets can be lifted up to traditional human heights with an elevation kit and there is an optional electric reset kit that will allow targets to be reset or exposed using the spring loaded base and a remote control. \\xa0

As a defensive shooting instructor, the electronic reset is where I find the most value with the HMG targets.

HMG has taken on the challenges that targets present to quality defensive firearms training. \\xa0Take a listen to my conversation with Mac to find out how.
