McQueen Targets has worked with the UK Military teams for over 60 years and still supplies to this day one of the most visually famous targets in the world – the Fig 11/59. Our Fig 11 ‘Elvis’ targets allow practising your defence and tactical drills or shooting for precision.

LF1: the grouping practice (100 m LF1 -LF5 are described briefly below; LF6 is described in detail in Table 7. We show how common military recruitment practices exacerbate and concentrate moral risk exposure, using the UK as a case study. We also know that issues of financial instability, housing concerns and the experience of leaving the relatively secure environment and employment of the Armed Forces can be traumatic and destabilising. This paper explores the use of image processing techniques in analysing shots fired at the figure-11 target [14] by trainees, assisting instructors in selecting marksmen, and determining if marksmanship performance during weapon training is dependent on some selected factors.If you’d like to file an allegation of infringement, you’ll need to follow the process described in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.

Supporting social learning theory of aggression (Bandura, 1978), the validation of violence within the military sphere may bleed into other environments, contributing to IPVA (Bradley, 2007;Trevillion et al. This snowball-type recruitment method was a feature of the larger project and appeared to be driven by what has been recognised elsewhere as 'militarised trust' (Gee, 2017;Ward, 2017).The dummies are designed to absorb thousands of rounds of 5mm – 9mm calibre so are durable for a long period (small repairs can also be carried out on them). This important report shows that the strains of Service life can contribute to violent or abusive behaviour within personal relationships and it is our experience that many of the personal and domestic difficulties experienced whilst 'in uniform' are magnified once that safety net is left behind. Moreover, that our Armed Forces Community can find help from support bodies where these factors are understood. Our method of evaluation is generalizable and therefore can be used to assess other states’ practices.
