Armed Male Tank Top Skull Cap Handgun Aiming Forward E-Backer Target

An armed threat with clear anatomical landmarks. This is the target to teach the cardiac box on before moving trainees to covered and layered figures.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

The tank top leaves the shoulders and upper chest bare, which makes the anatomy easy to see, and the white shirt shows every hit. The pistol is centered on his chest, right over the heart.

Training Purpose

A straightforward armed threat with clear landmarks. It is a good first target for teaching the cardiac box before moving to covered and layered figures. Hung among no-shoot and hostage targets, it is a threat the shooter has to recognize and stop.

Skills Reinforced

  • Reading shoulder and collarbone landmarks
  • Shooting to a zone that sits behind the subject's own weapon
  • Shot placement in the cardiac box and head circle
  • Shoot / no-shoot decisions in a mixed course of fire
  • Looking at the hands before the face

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 on the face. 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.
  • 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 on the heart itself.

  • Hard to see on purpose. Every line is a light hairline. It is readable at arm's length for scoring and invisible from shooting distance, which keeps the shooter aiming at anatomy.

The pistol and both hands sit in the center of the cardiac box, so heart-box hits will be on or beside the weapon. 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. 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

Most printed targets are rectangles that have to be folded or cut to fit a silhouette backer. This one is already cut to the E-type shape: 19" x 38", made to mount on the standard 19.5" x 40" E-type backer used on military and law enforcement ranges. The person on it is printed to fill that outline, so what the shooter sees downrange is a human figure and not a sheet of paper.

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

Start new shooters here. The bare shoulders make it easy to show where the box sits before they try it on a hoodie. Typical distances are 3 to 25 yards with pistol and out to 50 with a carbine.

Who This Target Is For

Law enforcement firearms instructors, military police and range cadre who run courses of fire on E-type backers, academy staff building judgment into qualification, and private instructors who want realistic human figures on a silhouette stand.
