Reactive targets provide immediate feedback to the shooter regarding shot placement. This visual confirmation, often in the form of a splash of color or a change in target shape, allows for instant adjustments to aim and technique. For example, a target might feature a bright, contrasting center that is exposed upon impact.
This immediate feedback loop offers significant advantages in firearm training and recreational shooting. It accelerates skill development by allowing shooters to quickly identify and correct errors. This type of target is valuable for both novice and experienced shooters, enabling the reinforcement of proper technique and the rapid improvement of accuracy. The development of such targets represents a significant advance over traditional paper targets, which require ceasing fire and physically inspecting the target to assess performance.
