Inside it are 3-inch, 2-inch and 1-inch rings. The 1-inch ring is the X-ring, used for tie-breaks and zero checks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardiac box.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 10-inch square that starts at the base of the neck and covers the upper chest, centered on the heart. It holds 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch squares, and the innermost 4-inch square is the heart box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard to see on purpose.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every line is a light hairline.

Because the zones are nested, one target supports a basic standard and a strict one. Count the outer lines for qualification and the inner lines when you are training precision.

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\u003eHave shooters call where the heart is before they fire, then score against the box.
