I don’t want to tell you what to do, but if you have been on the fence about adding a serious steel training target to your toolbox, now is the time to act! TacStrike is celebrating their 4th anniversary and they have special pricing on the 1/4 Scale Steel Target System to celebrate. It is just $200 and if you buy two, they will throw in a spare parts kit. If you buy 4, they will upgrade one to their hostage base! Check out TacStrike.
TRICON’s TACOST-Rifle 1 (TAsk COnditions & Standards Rifle Training Program) is now available. I have been using the handgun version of this program and it is excellent.
TACOST is a set of 52 drills developed by Jeff Gonzales that are printed on playing cards. The 4 suits serve to separate the drills into 4 categories: Marksmanship (Spades), Speed (Hearts), Dry fire (Diamonds), and Baseline (Clubs).
The genius of TACOST is the playing card format. It is easy to use, simply choose cards at random and complete the drills. The deck is extremely portable and, by consistently choosing from the same set of drills, you make your training repeatable and measurable.

TriggerTimeTV, a YouTube channel that is extremely worthy of your subscription, recently posted a video of Jim Gilliland of Shadow 6 Consulting talking about steel targets. The video touches on the evolution of steel target use in training, costs, pros/cons, different types of targets, and safety. Viewers will notice that the video contains a heavy dose of TacStrike.
Katylist loaded a bunch of new deals onto their site recently including one of the best ballistic plate deals you’ll find anywhere. They put their LTC Level IV Stand-Alone Shooters Cut plates on sale for $139. These are 9.9″ x 11.9″ single curve plates that weigh in at 8.25 lb each. They have a painted finish which helps keep the cost down and should be sufficient for those who aren’t wearing them daily.
TacStrike’s Tango on a String is the next logical progression of where their target line is heading. It combines the best from several of their established targets. It has a reduced, C-zone sized, sillouette similar to their 1/4 Scale Steel Target System. It utilizes their cross bar and target stand like their other swingers. Finally, it keeps cost down by being sized to ship in USPS Flat Rate Box like their popular FRB targets.
The Tango on a String includes just the target plate. You can purchase a target stand and cross bar to make a portable hanging set up. TacStrike also has chains and snap links available.
