A hostage target with the gunman's head above and beside the hostage and most of his face exposed. It is the place to start hostage work before the tighter presentations in the line.
His head is above and behind hers, tilted, with most of his face showing. Her head is directly below it. The pistol is out to one side, on the shooter's left.
A hostage shot with a reasonable amount of head showing. It is the right place to start before the tighter presentations in the set. In a mixed deck it is the precision problem.
One kill zone is printed on this target, and it is on the gunman's face.

The head circle sits on the gunman's face, above and to one side of the hostage's head. Nothing is printed on the hostage. 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. See the Range Manual on choosing and running hostage targets and on how T-box, cardiac box and A/C scoring zones compare.
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.
Start at 5 yards and move back only when every round is inside the 3-inch ring. Start close, inside 7 yards, and move back as the group earns it.
Tactical trainers, patrol instructors and range cadre who want a hostage target that fits the stands and lifters they already use.
A course of fire needs armed threats, no-shoots and hostage problems side by side. These five come from across the E-backer line:
