Armed Male Yellow Hoodie Handgun Aiming Forward E-Backer Target

An armed threat with a hood up and the face in shadow. It trains target identification and head placement when the face is not fully lit, and it suits reduced-light qualification.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

The hood shades the upper face and the pistol is held just under the chin, so the face and the weapon are stacked close together. The bright jacket frames a dark shirt, which narrows the apparent chest.

Training Purpose

A hooded threat with a partly shaded face. It trains target identification and head placement when the face is not fully lit. In a mixed deck it is one of the figures that must be engaged.

Skills Reinforced

  • Identifying a threat with a shaded face
  • Separating the head zone from a pistol held just beneath it
  • Threat identification on a realistic human figure
  • Chest-to-head transitions
  • Speed, with every round accounted for

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 centered on the bridge of the nose at eye level, with its lower edge resting on the upper lip. Inside it are 3-inch, 2-inch and 1-inch rings. The 1-inch ring is the X-ring, used for tie-breaks and zero checks.
  • 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... ...

  • 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 is held just under the chin, at the top edge of the cardiac box. The head circle sits on the shaded face inside the hood. The nested squares and rings give you several standards on one target: the outer lines for a pass, the inner ones for instructors who want more. 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

Useful under reduced range lighting. The shaded face is harder to read at 10 yards than shooters expect. Mix it with the no-shoot and hostage designs so the shooter never knows what the next facing will be.

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.
