The Action Target DT-4A Discretionary Command Training Target is a paper target made for the range where thinking matters as much as marksmanship. Instead of a single bullseye, each sheet uses four bold colors that let an instructor call out specific shapes or colors so trainees have to process the command before they ever break a shot. It's a favorite in law enforcement and defensive training settings, but any group class or private range running command drills can put it to work.
The idea behind this target really clicks when you set up three of them side by side on the firing line. With that layout, an instructor can build both shoot and no-shoot scenarios in the same string. Because each target carries a no-shoot possibility on every command, some students end up firing while others correctly hold. That's the whole point. It forces individual decision making rather than the group instinct to fire the moment someone else does.
One of the biggest habits this target is designed to break is what instructors call bunch shooting, where a student pulls the trigger just because everybody around them did. Running the DT-4A conditions people to respond to their own command and their own color, which builds discipline and target identification skills that carry straight into real-world reaction time. The 23 by 35 inch size keeps the shapes and colors easy to read across common pistol and carbine training distances.
Each box holds 100 targets, so you're stocked for high-volume classes, extended courses, or a busy range that runs qualification and decision drills week after week. Action Target has been building training and range gear out of Provo, Utah since the mid-1980s, and the DT-4A is a straightforward, proven piece of that lineup. Hang them, call your commands, and let the target do the teaching.
The target works best with three set up together on the firing line. An instructor calls out a color or shape, and each shooter decides whether their target is a shoot or a no-shoot for that command. Because the no-shoot possibility changes string to string, students have to react to their own command rather than following the crowd.
This version features four colors: black, blue, red, and yellow. The bold color coding is what makes it work for command drills, since instructors can call a specific color and force trainees to identify the correct target before firing. The 23 by 35 inch sheet keeps those colors readable at typical training distances.
It's aimed at instructor-led environments like law enforcement, military, and defensive training courses, though any group class running decision drills can use it. The design is specifically built to condition people against bunch shooting and to sharpen individual target identification. Solo shooters can use it too, but it shines with a coach calling commands.
Each box includes 100 targets, which makes it a practical pick for high-volume classes and busy ranges. That quantity is enough to run extended courses or large groups without constantly restocking. It's a cost-effective way to keep command drills going through a full training cycle.
