This is a photograph of a shooting target set up outdoors. It depicts a large paper target mounted on a wooden frame with visible cardboard reinforcement. The target has the silhouette of a human torso printed on it, with multiple bullet holes concentrated around the central area. An additional smaller target sheet, labeled "VisiShot," is pinned over the silhouette. This smaller target displays concentric circles with scoring numbers, and several distinct orange-bordered impact holes where bullets have struck. To the right of the silhouette target, there are numbers handwritten in marker, with the name "Eric" above them and summed at the bottom. The background shows a gravel ground area and a cloudy sky.
