Unarmed Male Looking At Phone No-Shoot E-Backer Target

An unarmed man looking down at a phone held in both hands. The phone is the object most often mistaken for a handgun, and this is the target that trains the difference.

What the Trainee Has to Work Out

A dark rectangular object held in two hands in front of the chest. At distance and at speed it is the classic mistaken-identity object. He is also not responding to anything, because he is not paying attention.

Training Purpose

The phone no-shoot. It trains object identification on the most common item that gets mistaken for a handgun. In a mixed deck it is a figure that must not be engaged.

Skills Reinforced

  • Telling a phone from a handgun at speed
  • Reading an inattentive subject as a non-threat
  • Target identification at qualification distances
  • Shoot / no-shoot discrimination under time pressure
  • Checking the hands before deciding

No Kill Zones: This Is a No-Shoot Target

This target has no kill zones. No head circle, no cardiac box, no rings. The person on it is not a threat, so there is nowhere on the paper that earns a point. One hole anywhere fails the run.

The armed E-backer targets in this line carry a 4-inch head circle and a 10-inch cardiac box, and the hostage targets carry the head circle on the gunman only. A no-shoot hung among them is scored one way: clean or not. 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

This target is die-cut to the E-type silhouette, the kneeling-figure outline that military and law enforcement ranges have used for decades. 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.... ...

Cut to Fit the E-Type Backer

This target is die-cut to the E-type silhouette, the kneeling-figure outline that military and law enforcement ranges have used for decades. 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.

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

Pair it with any of the two-handed pistol figures. The hand position is close to identical. It works on static stands, turning stands and pop-up lifters that take an E-type backer.

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.
