This is a photograph of a shooting target. The image shows a paper target designed in the silhouette of a person attached to a bulletin board. The target has multiple bullet holes concentrated in the chest area. There are also several handwritten markings on the paper, including large numbers and letters in black marker. The surroundings seem to be an outdoor shooting range. The paper is slightly crumpled and appears to be stapled or pinned onto the board.
