Armed Male Purple Hoodie Handgun Aiming Forward E-Backer Target

A young, calm, armed threat. There is no shouting and no warning posture, only a leveled pistol, so the trainee has to act on the weapon and not wait for anger.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

The hoodie is one solid color with a front pocket and no lines across the chest, so there is nothing to index on except the body under it. His calm is the other read: no shouting, no warning, only a leveled pistol.

Training Purpose

A young, quiet, fully committed threat. It trains the shooter to act on the weapon and the posture and not wait for anger or noise. Hung among no-shoot and hostage targets, it is a threat the shooter has to recognize and stop.

Skills Reinforced

  • Acting on the weapon, not on the subject's expression
  • Finding center chest under loose clothing
  • Looking at the hands before the face
  • Shot placement in the cardiac box and head circle
  • Shoot / no-shoot decisions in a mixed course of fire

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 placed through the eyes, centered on the bridge of the nose, with the upper lip at its bottom edge. It contains 3-inch, 2-inch and 1-inch rings. Use the 1-inch ring as the X-ring for ties and for confirming zero.
  • Cardiac box. A 10-inch square over the heart and the large vessels above it. The top edge runs across the base of the neck and the box extends down the upper chest. Concentric 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch squares are printed inside it, with the 4-inch square... ...

  • 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.

The hands are held high, level with the collarbones, so the top edge of the cardiac box passes just under the pistol. 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

An E-type backer is the plastic or cardboard silhouette, 19.5" wide and 40" tall, that pop-up lifters and static stands on military and police ranges are built around. This target is cut to that same outline at 19" x 38", so the paper covers the face of the backer and the figure fills the shape from edge to edge. Hang it the way you hang any E-type facing.

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

Pair it with the phone and keys no-shoots at the same distance. The calm face is nearly the same on all three. 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.
