PART V.--FIRE DIRECTION PRACTICES.
Short series of shots will be fired at distances beyond 600 yards by
officers and non-commissioned officers for practice in observation of
fire, estimating atmospheric influences, and verifying sighting by
trial shots. Screens, or any visible objects such as might serve as
range marks on service, will be used as targets. About 300 rounds,
drawn from the surplus, should suffice. Special fire-direction
exercises should be substituted for these practices if range
accommodation does not extend beyond 600 yards.

Total rounds 50
Surplus rounds 25
Total rounds for Table B 250
