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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Trainee Has to Work Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTraining Purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSkills Reinforced\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolding a precise aiming point on a wide torso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognizing a threat who does not look like one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed, with every round accounted for\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreat identification on a realistic human figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChest-to-head transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKill Zones: 4-Inch Head Circle and 10-Inch Cardiac Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead circle.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardiac box.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaint by design.\u003c\/strong\u003e The lines are thin and printed in a light tone. You can see them when you walk up to score. From the firing line they disappear, so the shooter aims at a person and not at a shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.

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.\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\u003eRun it against the lean figures in the set at the same distance and compare group sizes. Groups usually open up on the bigger body.
