Hey, and welcome to my site.  My name is Carl and I started as a paramedic back in 1979 then went back to school for radiology in 1990 where I came to specialize in Cat Scan and Trauma Radiography.  I also studied Kenpo for over a decade and, until I was sidelined by cancer, I would occasionally do self defense seminars for various groups including hospitals, churches, and women's clubs.  I started Targets With Attitude in the spring of 2014 when I came to realize that I probably would not be able to adequately fund a Special Needs Trust for my son and still help my daughter pay for college.  I thought of several ideas before coming up with this one, but none seemed like they were likely to go very far; not when all I really had going for me besides my skills as a radiographer was a warped sense of humor and a love of both target shooting and the great outdoors.  Then, while teaching my daughter to shoot, it hit me.  Other than Birchwood Casey, no one seemed to be making anything other than the standard silhouette targets and bullseye targets.  And so I had printed up around $400.00 worth of custom designed targets, and we were off and running.  Over the years we slowly found our emphasis shifting to better quality knives as well as some camping and survival gear, eventually becoming the company we are today.

I have also started a YouTube channel located at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeMWV1ifMlhjsck5q3pwABg? where I review many of the knives we sell, as well as do a series of videos called Knife Basics -What You Really Need To Know.  I hope you enjoy both this site and my videos, and I look forwards to helping you with your culinary needs and desires for many years to come.
