The pistol and optic are raised close under his chin, right below the face.

It raises the stakes on speed and gives a head zone that is partly blocked by the subject's own weapon.

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.
