If you haven't yet had a facepalm today, watch the 1:20 video.
Black targets are easier to hit
I do not do well with red or blue.

So...what, replace them with rainbow targets?
Molon labe...
Any color other than black permitted? OK, let’s use brown.
I’ve used both black and white targets. Indoors, I don’t think it matters much as long as the lighting is decent. Outdoors, I’m not sure if the visibility issue is different or not.
Why am I thinking about the Far Side Cartoon of the Deer with a Target on it’s chest with the caption, bummer of a birthmark Hal.
Is the true though? Are blacks really 3 times more likely to be shot than whites, by “trained shooters”?
There’s a lot that goes into a statistic like that, not the least being the definition of “trained shooter”.
For example, we would presume that all police are “trained shooters”, but we know that police to NOT shoot blacks at 3 times the rate of whites.
We know that 77% of whites who are killed by guns are suicides. I bet we have no idea how many of them were “trained shooters”. Doubt we should count them.
We know that a large number of blacks are shot by blacks, often gang violence. Are the black shooters “trained”? Do they go to ranges? Does it count as training if you have been shooting people for years?
BTW, white men are much more likely to be shot than black women or white women. So maybe we should pass a law that the human targets be female rather than male.
Oh, imagine the outrage if a shooting range did THAT.
Our rural (private) range has pistol berms oriented so that anyone driving by on the county road can see the targets if they look hard...
We actually had someone call the county sheriff and complain that we were “shooting at pictures of black people”...Sheriff sent a deputy out to see what was going on...”Pictures” were actually regulation silhouette targets much like those the sheriffs department uses for qualification...
The deputy face-palmed and just shook his head...The stupid abound...
Just remember that although “shooting bias” is real..there is not bias created by violent music or video games...lol
Hows about you try to figure out why the 18-24 black male demographic is hell bent on killing each other rather than inanimate pieces of paper? Ignorant asses. White people aren’t killing you, you’re killing each other, guys so figure it out and leave the pschosocial bullshit to the ivory tower crowd.
