Action Target: Reactive Steel Targets Overview

Action Target, Inc. is the industry leader in portable steel targets and indoor and outdoor shooting range development for military, law enforcement, and commercial needs.

Reactive shooting is the skill a police officer must rely on when confronted with a suddenly hazardous situation. It is a critical skill that can save officers' lives and it is the result of conditioned hand-eye coordination developed by training on Action Target's air powered reactive steel systems.

As we learn more and more about the human dynamics involved in armed confrontations, we understand that physical skills that require conscious thought or intellectual processing tend to break down rapidly under high levels of stress. If defensive skills and responses are not programed in at a subconscious level, the sudden stress may cause us to fumble, freeze, or to panic. It is in this environment that reactive shooting skills are needed. Such reflexive shooting skills can be taught through the use of extremely short time limits, pushing the shooter to function at the limits of reaction and response time.

Training systems like Action Target's Bobber X-treme, Auto Popper, and KD Targets provide the instant feedback required to program an officer's reactive shooting skills effectively and efficiently.
