REVIEW 365+ 3D Shooting Dummy

More efficient training and safer handling of firearms can only be achieved through consistency and realistic training. There are various tools and training devices available to enable more practical shooting. 365+ Tactical offers the 3D Shooting Dummy as a tool that we don't want to withhold from you.

We received a not-quite-new test dummy for shooting by 365+. However, this doesn't matter at all, in fact, based on the hits, you can already see what the dummy has endured so far and what ammunition has been used. Our expert immediately classified it as "police ammunition," recognizable by the edges where the fabric was damaged and the bullet hole did not completely close. This reduces the lifespan of the dummy, which is something to keep in mind.

But let's go back to the beginning. Our 3D Shooting Dummy weighs five kilograms and is easy to transport due to its half-body shape. It is a torso with a head, measuring 825mm x 415mm x 160mm.

The entire dummy is made of self-closing polyurethane, meaning the entry and exit holes almost completely close. This is especially practical when repainting the dummy with paint to get a fresh target image.

Whether it's the head or upper body, the dummy swallows all projectiles obediently - and spits them out at the back. The material is usable for about 10,000 shots, and the dummy doesn't become too heavy. In addition, the risk of injury is greatly reduced when there are no splinters and projectiles in the body.

Deformations? None at all, even with a shot directly on the dummy, it does not deform. It even keeps its friendly grin. The manufacturer promises it can withstand shots from caliber .17 HMR to .50 BMG. For snipers or long-range training, a Hardox 500 gong can be installed in the body so that the shots can also be "heard." Ping!

The 3D Shooting Dummy is weather-resistant, so if it's placed at an outdoor range, it won't be affected.

Even with a full magazine from a rifle, the dummy remains unimpressed, the material is so pliable that the dummy doesn't even wobble - even though we set it up rather makeshift here.

Normally, the 3D Dummy is mounted on a rod, with a metal tube built into the bottom for that purpose.

Shooting from the hip in backward movement, all these special exercises can be performed with the dummy. It is also interesting when the shot is taken sideways. The three-dimensional construction makes the hits visible, something that would not be possible with a paper target.

Our expert is satisfied: "I'll order two of these for the range right away, we often have police officers training here." Exactly in line with the manufacturer's intentions: Safe training close to real-world scenarios.

CONCLUSION: The 365+ 3D Shooting Dummy is a sophisticated training device for personal protection personnel, police, or other agencies looking to conduct realistic training with maximum safety. In addition, the dummy is offered at a fair price, making it an ideal training partner due to its durability. And if you don't want to shoot at it, you can place it anywhere - it always smiles so friendly, no matter what you do to it.

You can get the dummy for €164.94, with discount tiers available on request for multiple purchases. If you only need a torso or a head, you can opt for the 3D Shooting Dummy Head or Body, priced between €50 and €155.

The dummy is available in Germany for agencies at POL-TEC: HERE for the complete dummy, HERE for the body, and HERE for the head.

For individuals in Europe with different laws regarding target shooting, the Dummy family is available directly from 365+ Tactical.

Special thanks to Anton from Waffen Albert for conducting the test.
