Each 10 shots in Table IV are to be fired in two scores of two clips each, the clips in each case to contain range dummies and loaded cart- ridges mixed. After Tables I, II, III, and IV have been fired such addi- tional practice will be held as time and ammunition allowance will per- mit. It is best to alternate slow and rapid fire at the ranges and in the positions laid down for the course. Usually more rapid-fire practice is needed than slow-fire practice.
The firing of rapid-fire scores with mixed range dummies will not be limited to the first time over the course. This form of practice is ex- cellent training and should be carried on until a few days before firing the record course. It is good instruction to precede each full score of 10 loaded cartridges by a score of two clips in which 5 range dummies and 5 loaded cartridges are mixed.
The instruction practice prescribed in Tables I, II, III and IV need not be followed rigidly when unusual local conditions make a change advis- able in the opinion of the officer in charge of the firing. The general plan as outlined in these table will, however, be followed.

STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA
[W. VA.
After an organization has completed record firing in Course A, men who have qualified as expert riflemen will take the long-range practice.
The course will be fired at least three times, twice for instruction practice and once for record. In order to obtain the maximum instruc- tion in the effects of weather conditins the course will not be fired more than once on any one day. Long-range practice need not be fired during the target-practice season, but may be fired at any time before the end of the target year.

Two sighting shots will precede each score of 10 shots.
This practice will be conducted as prescribed for slow fire.
Instruction will be given in the effect of wind, light and temperature, and the value of small changes in elevation and windage at long ranges.
Long-range firing does not effect a soldier's qualification, but a record of the scores made will be included in the company target report.
