(v) The Solano Target, with or without scenic effects and figures, can be used for the whole scope of the instruction in this chapter, and for all range and field practices. The scope of instruction which can be carried out on landscape targets is strictly limited, and does not include important branches of elementary training nor range and individual field practices. Firing at landscape targets has the advantage of practising men in the adjustment of sights. On the other hand, landscape target practice lacks elements of realism and surprise, as it does not include arrangements for representing the movement of troops at different distances, and does not afford practice in watching the front for the appearance of targets representing troops, discerning and opening fire quickly at such targets, and in marking down, snapshooting, and rapid firing at moving and disappearing targets, especially within close range, which has proved of such vital importance in modern battles (see Preface, paras. 4 and 5). =2. Elementary Targets.=--(i) The elementary bull’s-eye and other targets for use in miniature range instructional practices should be similar to those used on the classification range, but are supplied reduced to the correct scale. [Illustration: =Fig. 53.=--SOLANO TARGET, MARK I, ARRANGED FOR ELEMENTARY PRACTICES. (_See Appendix, Sec. VII., para. 2._)] [Illustration: =Fig. 54.=--SOLANO TARGET--CLEAT FITTING WITH CORDS WHICH OPERATE MECHANISM ATTACHED. (_See Appendix, Sec. VII., para. 2._)] [Illustration: =Fig. 55.=--SOLANO TARGET, MARK I, ARRANGED FOR GENERAL INSTRUCTION OR FOR FIRING FIELD PRACTICES, WITH SCENERY AND SCENIC ACCESSORIES (TYPE A), AND WITH SOLANO FIGURES REPRESENTING TROOPS AT DIFFERENT RANGES. (_See Appendix, Sec. VII., paras. 3 to 5 inclusive._)] [Illustration: =Fig. 56.=--SOLANO TARGET, MARK I, ARRANGED FOR GENERAL INSTRUCTION OR FOR FIRING FIELD PRACTICES, WITH SCENERY AND SCENIC ACCESSORIES (TYPE C), AND WITH SOLANO FIGURES REPRESENTING TROOPS AT DIFFERENT RANGES.] =3. Regulation Figure Targets= include those in the list in Appendix, VII, para. 5. Targets representing troops advancing in close formations, such as those shown in the Preface, p. ix, may be improvised by cutting strips of card to the required length. The height of the card for various distances, scaled for 25 yards, is as follows: 400 yards, 4 inches; 600 yards, 3¾ inches; 800 yards, 2 inches; 1,000 yards, 1 inch. To these measurements ½ inch should be added in every case for the base held by the clips of the target. Brown or grey card should be used. (iii) _It must be noted that if figures are made with card which is not sufficiently thick, the impact of the bullet will not cause them to fall when fixed in the falling clips of Tier B of the Target_ (Appendix, VII, para. 2).
