We spoke at length about portable bullet traps<br />
in a previous section, and there are targets that<br />
can be used with these traps that offer a realistic<br />
approach to the problem. We often discount<br />
simple designs that function reliably for much<br />
more costly and complex designs that do not.<br />
Balloon targets are always a great tool because<br />
they fall to the ground when hit in the designated<br />
spot. These targets can be made of cardboard<br />
or plastic, and they can also be used with the<br />
3D targets that we are accustomed to seeing in<br />
military circles.<br />
Pop-up and swing-out targets can provide<br />
more realism than stationary targets can, but<br />
the motion is not always indicative of realistic<br />
movements inside houses. <strong>Target</strong>s that cannot<br />
make realistic movements may not be any better<br />
than stationary targets in some applications. In<br />
these cases, you might be better off simply<br />
hiding the stationary target behind boxes or<br />
other props.<br />

We always seem to think that wireless radio<br />
control technology is the pinnacle of portability<br />
in a target. However, it comes with its own set<br />
of problems as well. Radio controlled targets<br />
are great in a facility that is deployed or<br />
otherwise remote in its location. But the minute<br />
a wire is run into the training complex for a<br />
camera or some other device, the “no-wire”<br />
rule is broken and hard wired targets become<br />
just as easy to use inside the house as radio<br />
controlled units.<br />
One last idea worth mentioning is the use of a<br />
special function target. In this application, the<br />
target activates when a person moving through<br />
the house trips a wire or a beam of light. It<br />
becomes a bit of a self-driven scenario. You<br />
have to be careful about target placement, but<br />
this can be a great way to have the targets<br />
function repeatedly in a given manner. If you<br />
want to change the scenario, simply move the<br />
sensor or move the target.<br />
