The cardiac box lies on the vest, so use it to score chest hits and the head circle for the follow-up. 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.
