No. 4.
Object: A test of rapidity of fire, combined with accuracy after movement.
Rounds: 10 per man.
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.)
