The term "gun target" is usually used herein to describe any of a variety of installations that are permanently mounted on gun barrels or gun receiver sleeves so as to facilitate the safe, accurate aiming of a gun that has been fired from a gun. In popular usage, the term is also used to describe any object made or intended for use as a gun target. Gun targets can be used for hunting as well as self-defense purposes. This includes the use of targets that simulate prey animals that are set on the end of gun barrels in order to discourage the animal from charging or otherwise impeding the shot.
In some instances, the term is used in conjunction with the term "front elevation view of the gun target of fig." When this latter term is used, it typically refers to a rear elevation view of the gun target that is intended to be used by aiming at the rear of the said target. In other instances, the term refers to a front elevation view of the gun target of the sort that would be useful for aiming at a target that was standing or moving about, or that was sitting behind the gun barrel or its scope in an upright position. For example, if a hunter were to go to a range to shoot at some target that was moving around at the time, then a front elevation view of the target would most likely be more than sufficient. (Of course, hunters do not go to ranges to shoot at targets that were sitting still.)
To appreciate how this relates to the claim made in the previous paragraph, let us consider a situation in which there is only one side of the pistol training targetsthat is visible. In this instance, the gun sights are placed along the bottom of the barrel, and the front sight is mounted right behind the breech, or opening of the gun magazine. A hunter with a top notch scope can take a front elevation view of the target. A top notch scope, coupled with a top notch sight, will offer the hunter an excellent chance of hitting his target.
Now suppose that another sight is mounted on the opposite side of the gun (right side view of the gun target of fig.). Here, the position of the front sight on the target will show you the target through a slightly obstructed line. This is because of the position of the target's right side, or hip, relative to the line of sight. The top plan view of the gun target of fig., which is a mirror image of the front elevation view of the gun target, would give you a much better chance of hitting your target if you could see the target through the top of the front sight's objective housing. This is something to bear in mind when looking at the different sights on the gun targets from https://ustargetinc.com/silhouette/.
In order to compensate for the lack of front sight on the target, you could make use of a red dot sight, or laser rangefinder. These sights can help you get an improved aiming point. If you are hunting with a bow, you may want to mount a cross-bow sight, which looks like a part of the bow. Other hunters will make use of camouflage sights, which are really just mirrors of the typical gun sights.
For instance, if you look at the top plan view of the gun target of fig., which is a rear elevation view of the target through the iron sights, you will see a red dot in the middle of the target. This red dot is your aiming point, and you would align yourself so that the red dot is pointing to the right on the left side of your chest. If you look at the bottom plan view of the gun target of fig., which is a front elevation view of the target, you will see that there is a diamond shaped marking in the middle of the target, which is your aiming point. This diamond in the middle is your rear elevation mark, and you would align yourself with the right side of your body so that you are looking down through the sights at a point above your left shoulder.
