Anyone in here have experience with one?

It's gonna look mad tiny on you bro

Everything looks tiny when I wear it

Get smaller?

I've been watching threat identification drills, and they are all flawed in some way or another. What's your go to for teaching yourself quick assessment techniques before squeezing the bang switch?

See the bad guy

Shoot him

Use your eyes?

Things I think are critical.
1. The drill can maintain no redundancy, in other words, you need a buddy to create a scenario of which you don't know the details in order to practice quick and critical assessment. And he needs to change it up, nearly every time.
2. The "threat" doesn't always look obvious, so it needs a changing and realistic representation. If you are identifying by seeing a "gun", you could shoot your buddy if that's all you look for. There has to be more a more subtle variance to identifying threats in these drills.
3. The targets shouldn't be evenly spaced from your firing point, as this does not lend itself to practical situations. Real life is complex and the drills ought not to be so simple.

One of the better ones was a drill where there are several targets in a busy (lots of cover and obstacles) range setting, and there is a guide who walks the shooter with his eyes closed through the range, then calls contact in a certain direction. The shooter opened his eyes, identified the target while drawing and presenting his weapon, carried out his shots, then holstered and closed his eyes again. Rinse and repeat while walking through the environment.

One option is colored dots and calling specific colors

That's a good one

Lucas B uses one where chests and heads have spray painted white numbers, but that is too flat-range set to be practical

I like the variation of colors

maybe colors and numbers, with redundant numbers with color variance

good sheiza

The color dots are small enough to be hidden and if you get called a color that isn’t there your eyes and brain are going to have to work

If you want to actually test shit like that you need to do force on force. Poor mans UTM would be to grab an airsoft gun and some buddies.

Good idea, and I thought about that, but was hoping something similar could be emulated wit hlive fire

Without OC/Ts that know what they’re doing, you’re going to have a hard time getting the correct feedback though

No

Not really

Live fire? A bunch of rotating target stands, spray paint a gun on some of the cardboard outlines
