=Object=: To teach the necessity for quick opening of fire with effect from the first shot. =Rounds=: 5 per man. =Targets=: 2 iron falling-plates for each pair of firers. =Distance=: Unknown--about 250 yards. =Method=: 2 squads, each of four firers, are extended in pairs, rifles unloaded and at safe, sights normal, till the command “Fire.” Squads fire against each other. Targets represent the firers of the opposing squad. When a target is knocked down, the man of the opposing team in a corresponding position ceases fire, unloads, and takes no further part in the practice; his ammunition is available for the other man of his pair. Points are allotted as follows: For each hit, 5 points; total, 10 points. If both targets hit within 40 seconds, 5 points; total, 15 points. =No. 2.= =Object=: To bring out the dependence of movement on fire. =Rounds=: 10 per man. =Targets=: A Figure 3 target for each firer, to be exposed 3 times for 35 seconds at 35 seconds’ interval. Targets to be twirled and lowered when hit, and not to reappear till the next exposure. =Distance=: Known--600 to 400 yards. =Method=: (6) Firers, with rifles loaded and extended behind cover on the 600 yards’ firing-point; they open fire on the targets appearing. On the completion of each of the first two exposures the order “Advance” is given, when the firers double forward 100 yards. =Scoring=: 3 points for each hit. 1 point for each unfired round handed in, if target has been hit at each range. =No. 3.= =Object=: To test men’s intelligence and marksmanship. =Rounds=: 10 per man. =Targets=: 3 Figure 6 targets concealed behind a short length of wall (built of sandbags on the marker’s gallery), or represented by a specially prepared screen, which is understood to be bullet-proof. One of the targets (representing a man observing) looks round one end of the wall for 10 seconds, and if not fired at moves in quick time along the gallery, followed by the other two targets at 3 paces interval. On the first shot being fired, all targets move at the double towards the nearest cover (either the wall or the end of the gallery). Any targets which are still under cover when fire is opened do not appear. Targets to be twirled and lowered when hit. =Distance=: Known--400 yards. =Method=: 2 men with rifles loaded are concealed behind cover on the 400 yards’ firing-point, and are told the following: “You are a patrol; before reaching this point you saw an enemy’s patrol of 3 men move behind the wall on the marker’s gallery; you have crept up here unseen by them. “None of your troops are within a mile of you, and it is unlikely that the enemy’s patrol is closely supported. “Your object is to try to shoot all the enemy’s patrol. The marker’s gallery represents flat ground, with cover at each end of it.” =No. 4.= =Object=: A test of rapidity of fire, combined with accuracy after movement. =Rounds=: 10 per man.
