With no shirt to aim at, the trainee has to place rounds by anatomy alone, which makes this the quickest check of whether a shooter actually knows where the heart sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Trainee Has to Work Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no shirt there are no clothing lines to index on. The tattoos break up the torso and a large skull sits right where the eye wants to aim. The shooter has to find the breastbone and the heart from the body itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTraining Purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis target teaches placement on bare anatomy. It is the fastest way to find out whether a shooter knows where the heart is or has only been aiming at the middle of a shirt.

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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardiac box.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaint by design.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pistol is held high and tight, so the hands sit inside the upper half of the cardiac box and the heart box core is partly behind the weapon. 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.

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. 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\u003eRun it cold at 5 to 7 yards, then walk the line forward and score against the faint box. Shooters who drift low toward the abdomen show up immediately.
