Armed Female Cigarette Handgun Aiming Forward E-Backer Target

An armed female threat with relaxed, unhurried body language and bulky layers. It trains the response to what the hands are doing when nothing else about the subject signals danger.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

She looks unbothered. The cigarette and the slouch read as casual, and the layers of clothing hide the shape of her chest. The muzzle is the only thing in the picture pointed with any intent.

Training Purpose

A hard-living, unhurried threat. It trains the shooter to respond to what the hands are doing even when the body language is relaxed. In a mixed deck it is one of the figures that must be engaged.

Skills Reinforced

  • Responding to a threat with relaxed body language
  • Placing shots through bulky layered clothing
  • Shoot / no-shoot decisions in a mixed course of fire
  • Looking at the hands before the face
  • Shot placement in the cardiac box and head circle

Kill Zones: 4-Inch Head Circle and 10-Inch Cardiac Box

Two kill zones are printed on this target. Both are placed on this figure's own anatomy, not at fixed spots on the paper, so they sit where the organs are.

  • Head circle. A 4-inch circle centered on the bridge of the nose at eye level, with its lower edge resting on the upper lip. Inside it are 3-inch, 2-inch and 1-inch rings. The 1-inch ring is the X-ring, used for tie-breaks and zero checks.
  • Cardiac box. A 10-inch square on the upper chest, centered on the heart, with its top edge at the base of the neck just above the notch of the breastbone. Inside it are 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch squares. The 4-inch core lies directly over the heart.

  • Hard to see on purpose. Every line is a light hairline. It is readable at arm's length for scoring and invisible from shooting distance, which keeps the shooter aiming at anatomy.

Two layers and the backpack straps cover the chest. The cardiac box is placed on the body underneath, with its top edge at the base of the neck. Score it the way your course of fire requires. Hits inside the outer lines count, and the inner squares and rings let you tighten the standard as shooters improve. The Range Manual explains how T-box, cardiac box and A/C scoring zones compare, and when to shift from the cardiac box to the head.

Cut to Fit the E-Type Backer

An E-type backer is the plastic or cardboard silhouette, 19.5" wide and 40" tall, that pop-up lifters and static stands on military and police ranges are built around. This target is cut to that same outline at 19" x 38", so the paper covers the face of the backer and the figure fills the shape from edge to edge. Hang it the way you hang any E-type facing.

The figure is printed life-size. Heads, shoulders and hands are the size they are on a real person at that distance, so sight pictures and hold-offs carry over.

Instructor Notes

Use it in a set with the hoodie and jacket figures to practice finding the chest under layers. Typical distances are 3 to 25 yards with pistol and out to 50 with a carbine.

Who This Target Is For

Range masters, academy instructors and unit trainers who use E-type backers, and civilian instructors with silhouette stands who want armed figures that look like people an officer would meet.
