Armed Male Green Overshirt Handgun Aiming Forward E-Backer Target

The oldest and most ordinary-looking armed threat in the line. It trains against age bias: a gray-haired man with a leveled pistol is as dangerous as anyone on the range.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

He is the oldest threat in the set and the least threatening to look at. The white tee under the open shirt makes a clean vertical stripe down the center of the chest.

Training Purpose

It trains against age bias. An older, ordinary man with a leveled pistol is as dangerous as anyone else on the line. It belongs in any shoot / no-shoot course of fire as a clear armed threat.

Skills Reinforced

  • Responding to an older armed subject
  • Using an open shirt front to find the midline
  • Shot placement in the cardiac box and head circle
  • Shoot / no-shoot decisions in a mixed course of fire
  • Looking at the hands before the face

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 on the face. Its center is at eye level on the bridge of the nose and its bottom edge sits on the upper lip. Concentric 3-inch, 2-inch and 1-inch rings are printed inside it, and the 1-inch ring serves as the X-ring.
  • 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 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 white tee gives a clear centerline. The cardiac box is centered on it, with the pistol in the upper third. The nested squares and rings give you several standards on one target: the outer lines for a pass, the inner ones for instructors who want more. 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

Hang it beside the shop-rag no-shoot, who is about the same age. The only difference that matters is in the hands. It works on static stands, turning stands and pop-up lifters that take an E-type backer.

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.
