(iii) A red flag will be kept raised at the firing-point when no firing is taking place, and will be lowered only on the order of the senior officer. This order will not be given until the flag at the butts has been withdrawn. (iv) Aiming or snapping during target practice may only take place from the firing-point after the red flag has been lowered. Section =59=.--Surplus Ammunition and Computation of Averages. 1. =Surplus Ammunition.=--The rounds shown as “surplus” in Tables A and B will be distributed primarily by commanding officers for the following purposes: (i) Repetition firing, as prescribed in the tables. (ii) Fifteen rounds per man to be expended by company commanders for further training of indifferent shots. (iii) The further training of recruits. (iv) Fire-direction practices. (v) The testing of rifles when necessary. (vii) Occasional shots on the rifle-range (Sec. 58, para. 8). (vii) Ten rounds per man who commences the course for voluntary practice. (viii) Any surplus available after the above requirements have been fulfilled will be distributed to companies for general practice. It is not to be used for practice for competitions. =2. Computation of Averages.=--The best shot of each squadron or company will be determined by his aggregate score in Part III. Averages made by companies in each of the classification practices will be calculated to one place of decimals, and published in regimental orders. Only the scores of those officers, non-commissioned officers, and men who completed a practice will be included in the numbers by which the total points made in that practice are divided. Points made by casuals (see footnote to Sec. 63) will be included at the end of the year, and fresh averages struck. The sum of the averages of the practices of Part III. will be termed the “company average” in classification practices. Section =60=.--Conditions of Qualification =1.= The conditions for qualification in Part I., Table B, are: A score of not less than 15 in each of Practices 1 and 4, and a total of not less than 45 in Practices 2, 3, 5, and 6. =2.= Those who fail to reach any of these standards will, after firing Practices 7 to 14, repeat those practices of Part I. in which they failed, until the standard is attained or a third failure is recorded. They will omit Practices 15, 16, and 17. Those who fail to reach all the standards after two repetitions of those practices in which they failed will be classified as Third-Class shots, and will not fire Part III., but will fire Part VI. if ammunition is available. Special reports will be submitted in the case of men who are found to be incapable of reaching the second class standard in Table B.
