Unarmed Male Hand Raised Holding Keys No-Shoot E-Backer Target

An unarmed, impaired-looking subject with one empty hand raised and something in the other. It trains checking both hands before deciding.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

One hand is clearly empty and raised. The other is low, at the hip, and holding something. He looks impaired. The shooter has to check the low hand and not settle for the raised one.

  • Checking the hands before deciding
  • Target identification at qualification distances
  • Shoot / no-shoot discrimination under time pressure

No Kill Zones: This Is a No-Shoot Target

You will not find a scoring line on this target. A head circle or a cardiac box would tell the shooter where to aim, and this is a person who must not be shot. The only passing score is an untouched target.

The rest of the line is scored by zone: a 4-inch head circle and 10-inch cardiac box on the armed figures, and a head circle on the gunman in the hostage targets. Among them, this target tests the decision that comes before any shot. The Range Manual covers how to build shoot / no-shoot decision drills and identifying armed and unarmed subjects.

Cut to Fit the E-Type Backer

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... ...

Cut to Fit the E-Type Backer

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 at 95 percent of life size so the raised hand and the keys both stay inside the silhouette.

Instructor Notes

Use it in a string after an armed figure with a low-held pistol. The low hand is in a similar position. Hang at least one no-shoot for every three or four armed targets.

Who This Target Is For

Firearms instructors who need believable no-shoot figures for E-type backers: law enforcement and military police cadre, academy staff, and private trainers running decision drills.
