=Targets=: A Figure 3 target and 5 iron falling-plates for each firer. The Figure 3 target to be exposed twice for 3 seconds at an interval of 30 seconds. =Distance=: 200 to 300 yards. =Method=: (6) Firers are formed up about 50 yards in rear of the selected fire position (rifles unloaded and at safe). On the command, “Advance,” they rush to the fire position, load, and adjust sights. 25 seconds after the order “Advance,” the Figure 3 target is exposed, when fire will be opened. The falling-plates will then be engaged till the second exposure of the Figure 3 target, after which fire will cease. =Scoring=: 2 points for each hit on the Figure 3. 1 point for each plate knocked down. (If desired, this practice can be carried out without movement.) =No. 5.= =Object=: To teach the necessity for quickness in obtaining effect. =Rounds=: 5 per man. =Targets=: 1 Figure 6 target, 1 Figure 3 target, and 2 Figure 4 targets for each firer, to appear as follows within a given sector at about 5 seconds’ interval: Figure 6 moving to a flank for 5 seconds. Figure 3 appears for 4 seconds. Figure 4 appears for 3 seconds. 2 Figures 4 appear for 10 seconds. Targets when hit will not be replaced. =Distance=: Known--300 yards. =Method=: (6) Firers with rifles loaded are extended behind cover, and told to watch their front. They open fire on the appearance of the targets. =Scoring=: Figure 6 target--3 points. ” 3 ” 2 ” ” 4 ” 1 point. =No. 6.= =Object=: A test of rapidity and accuracy of fire. =Rounds=: 10 per man. =Targets=: A Figure 4 target for each firer, exposed for 45 seconds, divided into 3 unequal exposures, at intervals of 5 seconds. Targets to appear in a different place at each exposure (within certain limits). =Distance=: Known--200 yards. =Method=: (6) Firers lying in the open (rifle unloaded and at safe) are told to watch their front. On the appearance of the targets, they load and open fire. COLLECTIVE FIELD PRACTICES. =No. 1.= =Object=: To practise section commanders in applying collective fire from observation. =Rounds=: 10 per man. =Targets=: 8 iron falling-plates 1 yard apart, in two groups of four, on the stop-butt. =Distance=: Unknown--about 850 yards. Method: A section (12 firers) is formed up in rear of the 800 yards’ firing-point. Rifles to be unloaded and at safe till warning, “Commence,” 3 minutes after which fire will cease. NOTES.--Method of ranging and correction. Point of aim given. Fire orders. =No. 2.= =Object=: To exercise section commanders in giving fire orders and in controlling fire. =Rounds=: 10 per man. =Targets=: (_a_) 3 Figure 3 targets, 1 yard apart. (_b_) 1 Figure 6 target. (_a_) and (_b_) are exposed twice separately and once together in any order for 30 seconds at irregular intervals. Targets hit will be twirled and lowered, and will not reappear till the next exposure. =Distance=: Known--500 yards.
