Why would there be a hand warmer on a target?

If you were sighting in an IR sight system

Ummm....no.....it's for long term target storage....handwarmers make great o2 absorbers :p lmao

but its not in a barrel or HDPE 2 Food grade container or mylar bag or vacuum sealed...lol

either using it for thermal sight in or the user was trying to test the hand warmer as home made tannerite recipe

Oh thats a good guess....I hadn't thought of that.

Thermal imagers utilize IR technology. All objects emit infrared radiation above absolute zero. I believe it's called the radiation body law or something like that. The heat of each object would control the amount of IR being emitted. In this case the cardboard would be closer to the ambient air, which knowing where you live it was likely colder than the hand warmer. The thermal device would pick up this IR signal and you shoot it and have a dead cardboard target.

Either that, or you were just bored and had a few hand warmers around that really pi$$ed you off.

guys you don't want your targets to get cold at night over the week. If you let them be cold throughout the week they may leave you and not be there when it's time for the weekend shoot.

and why is the target sideways? people don't stand like that!

Could also serve as a dummy target, for fooling or distracting someone with IR tech. they will see a warm sillouette, and either shoot it thus giving away their position, or "ZOMG TOO MANY PREPPERS!" and beat feet.Also,test setup for IR defeating devices, see Max Velocity's "Patriot Dawn"

The biggest thing wrong with that target is the lack of perforations...

I was thinking the same thing... It looks like someone was practicing laying down covering fire... IE SPRAYING N' PRAYING

there is a BIG difference between covering or suppressing fire and "spray and pray" fire

It was the first couple shots on zeroing a thermal sight.

[airdrop]

for me it just highlights center of mass on that type of target.
