An armed threat who looks like an ordinary, older, heavyset citizen. It gives patrol and military police trainees a wide torso to stay precise on, and a subject who does not match the usual picture of a gunman.
He looks like someone you would walk past at a hardware store, which is what makes the target useful. The body is wide, so shooters tend to accept any hit on the shirt. The scoring zones show how many of those hits were on the heart.
This target fights the habit of treating a big torso as one big scoring area. It also puts an ordinary-looking, older subject into a deck that would otherwise be all young men. In a mixed deck it is one of the figures that must be engaged.
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.

Because the arms are fully extended, both hands and the pistol sit in the top of the cardiac box and the lower squares fall on open shirt. 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.
An E-type backer is the plastic or cardboard silhouette, 19.5" wide and 40" tall, that pop-up lifters and static stands on military and police ranges are built around. This target is cut to that same outline at 19" x 38", so the paper covers the face of the backer and the figure fills the shape from edge to edge. Hang it the way you hang any E-type facing.
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.
Run it against the lean figures in the set at the same distance and compare group sizes. Groups usually open up on the bigger body. Typical distances are 3 to 25 yards with pistol and out to 50 with a carbine.
Agencies and units that already shoot E-type silhouettes and want a person on them. It suits patrol and military police qualification refreshers, academy blocks, and instructor-led threat-identification training.
A course of fire needs armed threats, no-shoots and hostage problems side by side. These five come from across the E-backer line:
