WOW! It takes some stones to make those with the description, kinda put a target on his own back. Totally out of line. IMHO.

I think its a bit to early, but I will say the individual who's doing this is very a enterprising individual!!!

Targets with just a faceless hoodie, I can see that. But the Skittles and can of tea makes it wrong, as now the target can be identified with a specific individual, in a very sensitive case.

i personally wouldnt even want a thread about it. if someone is searching the net and finds us talking about it, we could end up looking like bloodthirsty killer gun owners. yes, i know we shouldnt care what people think, no I am not being politically correct. i just think it could cast a bad light on our forum.

we should never relish in taking another humans life. even if they are a pos. we take lives to protect life. not for fun.

I disagree with taking the thread down. I don't think it shows us in a bad light. Most of the people on this thread think it's a tasteless product. I too think they're a tasteless product.

However You could use them in a shoot/don't shoot, having some gun stickers made up that would cover the skittles on random targets. Get you in the practice of identifying the actual threat, not just assuming a threat because of a hoodie.

Well put Hbar! Tasteless.

Its a little tasteless but I think its really just a flag going up after a long quiet. Not much on the MSM recently so they re trying to revive it. I think HBAR put it good.

I've never understood zombie targets. Could someone explain?

IDPA and USPSA targets seem to be about as much as I would want to pay for a paper/cardboard target. Steel is definitely worth the cost.

Three color or four color silhouettes just don't seem to be worth the money. But then again, I'd rather spend my money on ammunition.

I dont see anything wrong with this. Criminals have been using hoodies as
a means of hiding their identity for many moons.

Ill take 20.

I agree with the majority. This is definitely tasteless.

Ahh Horse Sh*t, I'll take some of those targets. A siloute target is a siloute target, Reguard less! Just someone looking to start trouble and make a profit!!

Welcome to free enterprise!!

Its a zip up hoodie,not a thug hoodie. They make alot of stupid targets. While I will say it is dumb.I think Gun Rights people are funny. Leave the thread. Tired of people trying to get "stuff" they dont like banned.

Could it be a possibility that these targets were not designed by a gun owner, But possibly by someone who wants to stir up a bunch of controversy aimed at the gun owner?

Messed up, but according to the video if I buy it I am considered a "sharp shooter.":D

Do you have to engage this target from urban prone though?

I haven't bought targets for years and won't be buying these, but I hope the guy makes a million bucks.
