An armed subject with the pistol out but held low. It gives instructors a use-of-force problem and not only a marksmanship one: a weapon in hand that is not yet pointed at the officer.
The weapon is in his hands but not pointed at you. Depending on your rules of engagement and the scenario the instructor sets, this is a shoot, a challenge, or a hold. The shooter has to see the gun at waist level, not just check the face and chest.
It trains the low scan. Many shooters look at the face and the upper chest and never see hands at the belt. It also opens the discussion of when a drawn but lowered weapon becomes a deadly threat. Hung among no-shoot and hostage targets, it is a threat the shooter has to recognize and stop.
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.

The chest is completely clear on this figure, so all four concentric squares of the cardiac box are visible on the shirt when you walk up to score. 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.
This target is die-cut to the E-type silhouette, the kneeling-figure outline that military and law enforcement ranges have used for decades. It measures 19" x 38" and is sized to sit on a standard E-type backer (19.5" x 40") with a small margin all around. It staples or glues straight onto the backers your range already owns. There is nothing to trim and no stand to change.
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.
Brief the scenario first: armed subject who has ignored commands, or an unknown. Then run it both ways and compare what the shooters did. Mix it with the no-shoot and hostage designs so the shooter never knows what the next facing will be.
Law enforcement firearms instructors, military police and range cadre who run courses of fire on E-type backers, academy staff building judgment into qualification, and private instructors who want realistic human figures on a silhouette stand.
A course of fire needs armed threats, no-shoots and hostage problems side by side. These five come from across the E-backer line:
