Default Maker of targets offers apology, removes from online

Well so it seems many others including police officers found the new targets of pregnant women, young girls and boys to be offensive. After an uproar the maker has removed them from online sales and issued a statement. Seems as though those of us who found the targets over the top have been exonerated. I know it is good to practice what you will shoot but my god how often does an 8 year old boy, teenage girl or pregnant lady pose a threat? Obviously not often enough to make targets for them. Below is their statement:


In its apology, posted on the company’s website as well as Facebook, LET acknowledged that the targets were requested by law enforcement agencies.

We apologize for the offensive nature of our “No More Hesitation” products. These products have been taken offline due to the opinions expressed by so many, including members of the law enforcement community.
