The initial firing of the timed-fire target is from the supported fighting position. The soldier is given 45 seconds and 10 rounds of ammunition with instructions to fire one round at each silhouette target. Upon inspection of the target, the soldier can review his own performance, which provides an excellent diagnostic checkpoint for his sergeant/instructor/trainer. The soldier who hits most of these targets will probably qualify with a good score. After the target has been critiqued and bullet holes have been marked or pasted, the soldier repeats the exercise from the prone -unsupported position, having 55 seconds to engage the 10 targets.
You are
flexible in conducting 25-meter firing exercises withscaled silhouette targets
. The proper use of scaled silhouette targets can make a valuable contribution to a unit's marksmanship
program by accomplishing the following:
Soldiers learn how best to aim at targets located at various ranges while receiving precise feedback concerning bullet strike -whether it is a target hit or miss. Soldiers can acquire knowledge of range estimation. What they see through the sights is similar to what they would see if they were firing a target at the actual distance.
• Soldiers learn that close targets can be hit with a quick shot while more distant targets take a more deliberate application of the four marksmanship fundamentals.
• The use of an adjusted aiming point to allow for gravity, target movement, or wind may be effectively practiced.
• The silhouette target provides a permanent record for analysis by the soldier and his leader to assist in identifying and correcting firing problems.
• Soldiers develop confidence in their ability to successfully engage pop-up targets located at actual range.
• This target serves as an important diagnostic checkpoint. If soldiers cannot hit the scaled silhouettes, they cannot hit targets at actual range. Therefore, remedial training is probably needed before field firing is allowed.
• Having developed good firing skills and knowing what happens to bullets while firing at silhouette targets from supported and unsupported positions, the soldier's pop-up field fire practice results in a worthwhile training experience.
The mode of fire may be either slow or timed, any firing position can be used, and any number of shots may be fired before checking the target. (Checking the target after only a few bullets have been fired is more beneficial than checking the target after several bullets have been fired.) When spotting scopes are available, the target can be checked from the firing line without clearing the firing line, which would allow a target check after each bullet fired. The scaled silhouette targets are also excellent for dry-fire training. They incorporate an adjusted aiming point to help the soldier learn the effects of gravity. They could be used, with instructor assistance, to learn about wind -- for example, where should point of aim be for each target on the 10-target silhouette if there were a 10-mph full-value wind from the right.
All firing at the Army training centers is conducted with rifles that are equipped with standard sights. The long-range sight is used on the 250-meter range so the point of aim is equal to point of impact.
While the targets scaled for live fire at 25 meters can serve several useful purposes on the 25-meter live-fire range, the perceived range to the target can be changed for dry-fire training by changing the distance to the target. Then, the targets are scaled based on a visual angle from the firing position, which means the 50-meter target is one-half actual size, the 100-meter target is one-fourth actual size, and so on. If the firer views the target from one-half the intended distance (12.5 meters), the perceived range to the target would be one-half -for instance, the 50-meter target would become a 25-meter target, and the 300-meter target would become a 150-meter target. Of course, the opposite would occur if the range to the target were doubled.
When viewed from a range of 50 meters, the 50-meter target would appear as a 100-meter target, and the 300-meter target would appear as a 600-meter target. (The reduced targets in this manual could be used for indoor dry-fire training.) A simple procedure for finding the correct range is to adjust the distance while looking through the rifle sights until the 175-meter target appears to be the same size as the standard front sight post.
