Armed Male Flannel Overshirt Handgun Aiming Forward E-Backer Target

A direct armed threat: pistol up, aimed at the trainee, no ambiguity. This is the baseline shoot target for an E-type course of fire, the one that sets the standard for speed and placement before the harder decisions are hung beside it.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

There is nothing to interpret here, and that is the point. The muzzle is the first thing you see, at eye level and centered. The work is recognizing a committed threat in the half second you have, then putting rounds where they stop him and not where the bright orange shirt pulls your eye.

Training Purpose

Use it as the plain, no-doubt shoot in a mixed course of fire. It sets the baseline for speed and placement before you hang the harder decisions beside it. It belongs in any shoot / no-shoot course of fire as a clear armed threat.

Skills Reinforced

  • Getting hits when the muzzle is pointed at you
  • Aiming at anatomy, not at a bright graphic on a shirt
  • 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 on the upper chest, centered on the heart, with its top edge at the base of the neck just above the notch... ...

  • 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.
  • 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.

On this figure the extended arms and the pistol cross the upper chest, so part of the cardiac box sits on the hands and forearms. That is deliberate: a real aimed pistol covers the same ground. 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

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.

Instructor Notes

Hang it between two no-shoot targets and call the facing order at random. A clean run is two to the cardiac box and one to the head circle, with no rounds on its neighbors. Typical distances are 3 to 25 yards with pistol and out to 50 with a carbine.

Who This Target Is For

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.
