Shooting target. A "splatter"-type paper target — 25 shots at a distance of 91 metres (100 yd), all hitting inside the bullseye within a 25 millimetres (1 in) grouping. An electronic scoreboard used for stangskyting in Norway in 2007 showing the number of hits for each shooter after the first half. Shooting targets are objects in various ...
A 1951 USAF resolution test chart is a microscopic optical resolution test device originally defined by the U.S. Air Force MIL-STD-150A standard of 1951. The design provides numerous small target shapes exhibiting a stepped assortment of precise spatial frequency specimens. It is widely used in optical engineering laboratory work to analyze and ...
The air pistol target is 17x17 cm with concentric score zones, the innermost (worth ten points) having a diameter of 11.5 mm. The target, 17 by 17 cm (6.7 by 6.7 in), is traditionally made of light-coloured cardboard upon which scoring lines and a black aiming mark consisting of the score zones 7 through 10 are printed.

Point-blank range is any distance over which a certain firearm or gun can hit a target without the need to elevate the barrel to compensate for bullet drop, i.e. the gun can be pointed horizontally at the target. [ 1][ 2] For targets beyond-blank range, the shooter will have to point the barrel of their firearm at a position above the target ...
Johnson's criteria, or the Johnson criteria, created by John Johnson, describe both spatial domain and frequency domain approaches to analyze the ability of observers to perform visual tasks using image intensifier technology. [ 1] It was an important breakthrough in evaluating the performance of visual devices and guided the development of ...
