(iv) Object-lessons illustrating other important points may be arranged on the Target by instructors on the same principle as the above examples.
(v) =Conditions of Practices.=--_The Individual Field Practices Nos. 1 to 6 on pp. 185-188, Chapter VIII, can all be adapted with necessary modifications as to targets, numbers firing, etc., for firing on the Solano Target with scenery, scenic accessories, and figures._ The following are examples of other individual field practices which can be carried out on the Target, and are suitable for both instruction and competitions. Firing should be carried out in the different firing positions from behind cover, as well as without cover, or rest for arms or rifle.
INDIVIDUAL FIELD PRACTICES ON THE SOLANO TARGET.
=Object=: To teach men to open fire with effect quickly.
=Targets=: 2 per man--one 300 yards head and shoulders, and one 400 yards standing figure on different tiers.
=Directions=: Each target to be exposed singly in any order, 3 times for 5 seconds, at uncertain intervals of not less than 10 seconds. 1 round to be fired on each exposure.
=Object=: To teach men to open fire with effect quickly and to aim off.
=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.
=Object=: To teach men to mark down an enemy.
=Targets=: 2 per man--400 or 600 yards standing figure.
