It is a good first target for teaching the cardiac box before moving to covered and layered figures.

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.

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.\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\u003eStart new shooters here. The bare shoulders make it easy to show where the box sits before they try it on a hoodie.
