Armed Male Gray Hoodie Handgun Aiming Forward E-Backer Target

A hooded armed threat in dark, low-contrast clothing. It trains placement when the edges of the body are hard to pick out, and it draws low hits from trainees who aim at the brightest thing on the target.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

The hood, the beard and the lowered head leave little of the face showing. The dark clothing blends into one mass, and the red graphic low on the shirt is the only color on the target.

Training Purpose

A low-contrast target. It trains the shooter to place rounds on a dark figure where the edges of the body and clothing are hard to separate. Hung among no-shoot and hostage targets, it is a threat the shooter has to recognize and stop.

Skills Reinforced

  • Placing shots on a dark, low-contrast figure
  • Staying above a bright graphic set below the heart
  • 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 of the breastbone. Inside it are 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch squares. The 4-inch core lies directly over the heart.
  • Visible only up close. The zones are... ...

  • Visible only up close. The zones are drawn in thin, pale lines. They show when you are standing at the target and vanish from the line, so nobody can index on a box.

The red graphic sits below the bottom edge of the cardiac box. The box itself lies on the dark shirt above it, behind the hands. 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

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

Good for reduced-light work. The red skull is well below the cardiac box and draws low hits. Typical distances are 3 to 25 yards with pistol and out to 50 with a carbine.

Who This Target Is For

Agencies and units that already shoot E-type silhouettes and want a person on them. It suits patrol and military police qualification refreshers, academy blocks, and instructor-led threat-identification training.
