The head circle is clear on his face, but its edge on the hostage side is close to her hair. The rings give you a strict standard: hold shooters to the 3-inch or 2-inch ring once they can keep every round inside the circle.

It measures 19\" x 38\" and is sized to sit on a standard E-type backer (19.5\" x 40\") with a small margin all around. It staples or glues straight onto the backers your range already owns. There is nothing to trim and no stand to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure is printed life-size.
