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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSkills Reinforced\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActing on the weapon, not on the subject's expression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding center chest under loose clothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking at the hands before the face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShot placement in the cardiac box and head circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoot \/ no-shoot decisions in a mixed course of fire\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.

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\u003eThe 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.

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.\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\u003ePair it with the phone and keys no-shoots at the same distance. The calm face is nearly the same on all three.
