c--Normal Sight. The following illustration shows the normal sight when the peep sight is used. [Illustration] The above illustration shows the correct alignment of the peep sight, front sight, and the bull's-eye. The following features should be noticed: 1st. The top of the front sight and not the bull's-eye is focused in the center of the peep sight. 2d. There is a thin strip of white between the top of the front sight and the bottom of the bull's-eye. 3. Position and Aiming Drills. Purpose: To so educate the muscles of the arms and body that the gun, during the act of aiming, shall be held without restraint and during the operation of firing shall not be deflected from the target by any convulsion or improper movement of the trigger finger or of the body, arms or hands. These drills must be taken daily, if they are to be of the maximum benefit. If you are enthusiastic about rifle shooting, and these drills are not give[C] to you, ask your company commander to show them to you, as they can be executed to advantage at odd times. 4. Deflection and Elevation Correction Drills. Purpose. To show you how to raise or lower your rear sight, change your windage to the right or left, and note the effect on the striking point of the bullet in each case. In general terms these drills teach you: (1) What to do when you are firing too high or low. (Elevation Drill.) (2) What to do when you are firing to the right or left of the target. (Deflection Drill.) The assumption is in each case that the gun is properly aimed the instant it is fired. Thoroughly to grasp every phase of the Elevation and Deflection Drills, it is best that you become familiarized with the dimensions of the following targets and the ranges at which each is used. It is not intended that you shall retain all these figures in your mind. SLOW FIRE TARGETS [Illustration: TARGET A] This target is used during slow fire at 200 and 300 yards. [Illustration: TARGET B] This target is used during slow fire at 500 and 600 yards. RAPID FIRE TARGET [Illustration: TARGET D] This target is always used with the battle sight at 200, 300, and 500 yards rapid fire. Battle sight is the position of the rear sight when the leaf is laid down, which is the habitual position of the rear sight leaf at drill. It is an open sight, and corresponds to an elevation of 547 yards. WINDAGE The rear sight is set on a movable base so that it can be moved to the right or left and the aiming point shifted accordingly in order to counteract the effect of the wind on the bullet. General Rule. To shift the striking point of the bullet to the left move the rear sight to the left. And, of course, the reverse holds true when it is moved to the right.
