The target has multiple bullet holes concentrated mainly in the center mass area. The paper is a neutral gray color with white outline markings, delineating different scoring zones on the target. The surface of the target appears slightly torn and frayed around the bullet holes. The central region of the target has the highest concentration of holes.
