Silhouette Targets

Silhouette targets present a human-shaped outline for marksmanship practice, giving shooters a more realistic aim point than a standard bullseye circle. Paper and cardboard versions come in sizes generally between 60 and 75cm tall, mounted on standard target stands or frames using clips or slots built into most range setups. Printed markings usually include scoring zones across the chest, head, and torso area, letting instructors score hits by location during qualification courses rather than just counting total hits.

Steel silhouette targets use hardened AR500 or AR550 plate, typically 6mm to 10mm thick, absorbing repeated pistol and rifle impacts without deep cratering that would eventually compromise the plate’s surface integrity. These mount on a swinging arm, chain, or fixed stand, with swinging versions giving instant audible feedback through a metallic clang confirming a hit without needing to walk downrange and check. Some steel versions add a fall-back mechanism, tipping the target over after a solid hit to simulate a target going down rather than remaining upright through an entire string of fire.

Weather-resistant coating on outdoor steel targets prevents rust buildup from rain and humidity, extending usable life across repeated training sessions without frequent repainting. Paper targets typically ship in bulk packs, cost-effective for high-volume qualification courses where hundreds of targets get used across a single training cycle.

Police and military training programs use silhouette targets for standard qualification courses and tactical scenario training. Private shooting ranges stock them for members moving beyond basic bullseye shooting into more scenario-focused practice. Security firms training armed guards also use silhouette targets for standardized firearms qualification testing.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies silhouette targets to police academies, military training facilities, and private shooting ranges across Pakistan. Material and mounting type are matched to expected training volume and caliber range.
