No. 2.
Object: To teach men to open fire with effect quickly and to aim off.
Rounds: 5 per man.
Targets: 1 per man—400 or 600 yards standing figure.
Directions: The figures will be arranged on the carriers of the crossing mechanism on Tier A. Scenic accessories, such as houses, trees, foliage, etc., will be arranged on the Target so as to conceal the figures at their starting-points, and also along the front groove of the Tier across which the figures will be moved with irregular intervals of some 6 to 12 inches between them. The figures will be moved from the concealment of cover to represent an enemy’s scout doubling across the firer’s front from cover to cover. On disappearing behind each successive piece of cover the figures will be halted for an uncertain time, not less than 5 seconds, after which they will be retired or advanced to the shelter of the nearest cover, when they will again be halted. Each figure will be exposed in this manner 5 times. 1 round will be fired on each exposure while the figure is in motion.
No. 3.
Object: To teach men to mark down an enemy.
Rounds: 6 per man.
Targets: 2 per man—400 or 600 yards standing figure.
Directions: One figure on each tier of the Target fixed to clips either without cover in front or behind cover which affords protection from fire, such as rocks, a wall, or a bank. The cover must not conceal more than half the figure when exposed. At first cover may be isolated to facilitate marking down, but as progress is made it should be continuous. Each target to be exposed singly for 3 seconds in any order and at uncertain intervals of not less than 10 seconds, then disappeared for 10 seconds, and then exposed again for 4 seconds. 1 round to be fired at each target on second exposure. This practice can also be carried out with the men working in pairs and taking it in turns to fire and to help to observe and mark down.
