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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Trainee Has to Work Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTraining Purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSkills Reinforced\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting hits when the muzzle is pointed at you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAiming at anatomy, not at a bright graphic on a shirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreat identification on a realistic human figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChest-to-head transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed, with every round accounted for\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKill Zones: 4-Inch Head Circle and 10-Inch Cardiac Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo kill zones are printed on this target.

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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardiac box.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaint by design.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstructor Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho This Target Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaw 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 19\" x 38\", die-cut to the E-type silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: standard E-type backers (19.5\" x 40\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigure: life-size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKill zones: 4-inch head circle with 3-, 2- and 1-inch rings; 10-inch cardiac box with 8-, 6- and 4-inch squares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper: heavy, durable stock with a matte finish, so there is no glare under range lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted in full color on one side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice: $2.49 each.
