From what I'm reading, The CMP Rimfire Sporter targets are for 25 and 50 yd usage. On the CMP order form, i see listed two variants.

I am guessing the 'Full Face' targets are for competition use and are self explanatory.

What are the same named targets but listed as 'Reduced' (Prone/Sitting/Kneeling)?
How are they 'reduced' and what is their intended purpose?

I have not been successful finding any dimensional notes. But the 'Reduced' cost less than 'Full Face' by a factor of four.
 
Usually the "reduced" targets are scaled to simulate the official sized target at a shorter distance. In High Power comp there are reduced targets to simulate 600yds but shot at 200yds. They are correctly, proportionally smaller. If you look at the rule book usually they list the optional courses of fire.
 
In the description its says "50' ". My guess is they are reduced for use at 50' indoor ranges for practice. That sounds like a fun practice match during the winter doldrums if you have access to an indoor range.

Found it in the CMP rule book


8.3.8 Targets
 50/25 Yard Targets. The CMP Rimfire Sporter Target is used for all outdoor stages of fire at 50 and 25 yards. The scoring ring dimensions are taken from the international 50 meter pistol target; the 9, 8 and 7 scoring zones are black; the 10 and X (inner ten) zones are white to provide an aiming point for T-Class rifles.
 50-Foot Targets. CMP Rimfire Sporter Targets reduced for 50 feet are used for Rimfire Sporter events fired at 50 feet, indoors or outdoors.
One 50-foot target simulates the firing of stages 1-4 at 50 yards while the second 50-foot target simulates the firing of stages 5-6 at 25 yards
 
Thanks for finding that. I appreciate the effort and am grateful.
I, obviously, rushed my scanning and completely missed that. In the future, I should go a little slower in my research.
