Armed Female Seated Injured Knee Handgun Aiming Forward E-Backer Target

An armed threat who is seated and injured. It trains officers and soldiers not to write off a wounded or downed subject, and it puts the vital zones lower on the backer than any standing target.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

Everything about her says victim: seated, hurt, not moving. The pistol says otherwise. Shooters who decide from posture alone hesitate on this target, and shooters who see the gun late are behind.

Training Purpose

It trains against the assumption that an injured or seated person is out of the fight. It also moves the vital zones lower on the backer than any standing figure in the set. It belongs in any shoot / no-shoot course of fire as a clear armed threat.

Skills Reinforced

  • Reading a weapon held by a seated, injured subject
  • Shifting point of aim for a low, seated figure
  • Threat identification on a realistic human figure
  • Chest-to-head transitions
  • Speed, with every round accounted for

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 that starts at the base of the neck and covers the upper chest, centered on the heart. It holds 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch squares, and the innermost 4-inch square is the heart box.
  • Faint by design. The lines are thin and printed in a light tone.... ...

  • Faint by design. The lines are thin and printed in a light tone. You can see them when you walk up to score. From the firing line they disappear, so the shooter aims at a person and not at a shape.

She is seated, so the head circle and cardiac box sit lower on the paper than on the standing figures. The outstretched arm crosses the top left of the box. Because the zones are nested, one target supports a basic standard and a strict one. Count the outer lines for qualification and the inner lines when you are training precision. 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

Most printed targets are rectangles that have to be folded or cut to fit a silhouette backer. This one is already cut to the E-type shape: 19" x 38", made to mount on the standard 19.5" x 40" E-type backer used on military and law enforcement ranges. The person on it is printed to fill that outline, so what the shooter sees downrange is a human figure and not a sheet of paper.

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

Place it as the last target in a string so the shooter arrives expecting a casualty. Debrief on what they saw first. It works on static stands, turning stands and pop-up lifters that take an E-type backer.

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.
