Section 635.1 - Acceptable Targets for Use During Range Qualification
The target used for the purposes of completing the required range qualification shall be a human silhouette type target like the target shown in Figure 1. The minimum dimensions of the target shall be 14" x 24" and the maximum dimensions shall be 24" x 45". The target must contain no fewer than five (5) rings for the purposes of scoring. The rings must center on an "X" in the middle of the target, with each successive ring no more than 4" and not less than 1" from the perimeter of the prior ring. Rings should be numbered from the center out, the "X" ring and the ring immediately outside the "X" ring may be unnumbered, the next most interior ring numbered with a nine (9), and so on. All five (5) rings used for the purposes of scoring must be positioned within the center mass of the silhouette target. "Center mass" is defined as the region of the human silhouette target below the throat and above the navel, centered between both shoulders. More rings than needed for scoring may be present on the target; however, no ring outside of the ring marked with a seven (7) may be used in calculating a passing score.Figure 1
