  • Publication number: 20150233683
    Abstract: A handgun target, system and method for increasing accuracy of a shooter. The handgun target includes at least one component with linear edges which is proportional to a front sight of the handgun. The linear edges converge creating precise points of reference which are configured to improve the accuracy of the shooter. The linear edges provide a linear relationship to the sight of the handgun. Wherein shots fired into the at least one component will not be visible to the shooter until the target is retrieved and shots fired which do not hit the at least one component will be visible to the shooter as the target sheet remains in position, thereby providing instantaneous visible feedback to the shooter with to allow for proper adjustment to facilitate the shooter to keep the shooter's gun, hand and trigger pull steady.

  • Publication number: 20140054860
    Abstract: A target, system and method for increasing accuracy of a shooter. The target includes at least one component with linear edges. The linear edges converge creating precise points of reference. The at least one component has a first color such that when a shot is fired through the at least one component there is no visual feedback to the shooter. The target includes a contrasting background which is provided outside of the at least one component. The contrasting background has a second color which is different from the first color, such that when a shot is fired through the contrasting background there is visual feedback to the shooter. The at least one component has linear edges, the visible feedback provides the shooter with precise instant feedback that allows for proper adjustment to continually improve accuracy by improving the relationship between the shooter's sight, trigger pull and muzzle direction.
