How to properly set up a No Power Target

No power thermal targets offer a lower cost, greener, and safer way to train, but you need to set them up properly to get the best results. The good news is that setting up No Power Thermal Printed Targets is fast and easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Position targets properly
2. Consider the environment
3. Shoot the crap out of the target

Target Setup

1. Lean the target back about 15 degrees as shown in the above picture.
2. Place a real or image a mirror on the target and move back about 10 steps toward the shooting area.
3. From your position, what do you see in the mirror?
   1. If you see the sky, you are in good shape.
   2. If you see the sun, you may be able to use the position, but the target will appear hot rather than cold. Not a big deal.
   3. If you see a building or thick trees, you need to adjust the position.
4. If you need to adjust position, lean the target back more or rotate it slightly so that from the shooters location you see the sky in your “mirror.”
