This is a photograph of a used shooting target with multiple bullet holes. The image features a paper target with a human figure silhouette, attached to a thick backing with staples. The silhouette displays bullet holes, primarily surrounding the central scoring region. Black numbers are present above the target, and it is labeled as TQ-15R. The lighting indicates an outdoor setting, casting shadows around the bullet holes and emphasizing the paper's texture where it has been pierced.
