I highly recommend this target for new pistol shooters. Shooting a pistol consistently and accurately is much more difficult than doing so with a rifle. When shooting a rifle, you have four points of contact with the weapon: your shoulder, firing hand, non-firing hand, and cheek weld.
When shooting a pistol, you only have two points of contact: your firing hand and your non-firing hand. Thus, marksmanship fundamentals (breathing control, trigger control, sight alignment, sight picture) become even more important.
A similar target like the one shown above has been on display at every Marine Corps pistol range I've ever trained on. The target is intended for right-handed shooters, so left-handers need to keep in mind that their results are the exact opposite.
