Repetition, _second day_. Practices 3 and 4, _third day_. Repetition, _fourth day_. Practices 5 and 6, _fifth day_. Practices 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be repeated once each if the grouping standard is not attained, but not on the same day. Should the firer have attained the grouping standard in any of the first four practices without repetition, he may on conclusion of all the practices be given the option of repeating No. 6 with a view to increasing his score for qualification. In all cases of repetition the second score only will count for classification. As a rule five days should be devoted to firing the course, of which the second and fourth would be reserved for repetition and careful instruction of indifferent shots. Surplus rounds will be used as the officer commanding the battery or company may direct on preliminary or further training, testing rifles, occasional shots, or marksmen’s firing in Part III., Table B, for cavalry and infantry. Points required for 2nd Class=65. Grouping standards have no effect on classification; they govern repetition only. TABLE B.
