What kind of target is this?

When you have optics such as a red dot on a rifle you aim at the square and the rounds should land in the bullzeye when zeroing up close at cqb distances.

Ahh - makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Looks like it's a benchrest target to me.

For benchrest, what's the point of the box like that? I know on our red dot zeroing targets the point, but I do think you are correct about benchrest as well. Most of the zeroing targets we had circles not squares, I just assumed they used a square and applied same principle here and thought this was a zeroing target.

Benchrest target.

It's a benchrest group target. You don't want to shoot out the POA, so you crank it up and make a group in the box.

Not EXACTLY the same, but we use something very similar to the OPs example for exactly the above purpose during initial rifle training.
