Targets to be exposed till hit; they will be lowered when hit.
5 seconds after the last target is hit they will be again exposed till they have been exposed 5 times.
Distance: Known—800 to 200 yards.
Method: 2 sections (20 firers) under the platoon sergeant, lie down on the 800 yards’ firing-point, rifles unloaded and at safe, sights normal. On the warning, “Commence,” the commander gives his orders, 10 minutes after which fire will cease.
A screen must be lowered before any advance may be made at 800 and 700 yards.
All five targets must be lowered before an advance may be made at the other ranges.
Advances will each be 100 yards.
No advance will be made beyond 200 yards.
Note.—If fired as a competition, the 2 sections who get most targets down win; if more than one team get all their targets down, that with the most ammunition in hand wins.
