TARGET PRACTICE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



ties of the figure target, showing men of the gun detachment 

 facing to the front, and by silhouettes showing them facing 

 the gun, rear view of horse without rider, and by side, front, 

 and rear views of horse and rider ; by targets showing front 

 views of guns and caissons of full size, and others showing 

 the upper half of these objects. The half-target guns and 

 caissons, when posed, have the appearance of being on a re- 

 verse slope. Men figures are grouped with the gun and 

 caisson targets as they would appear in actual service. See 

 figures 9 to 17. 



Lines of skirmishers lying down are represented by rows 

 of balloon targets or head figures; advancing and retiring 

 lines in close or open formation by variants of the figure 

 targets, cavalry by rows of targets, and artillery by a com- 

 bination of figure and profile targets with guns and caissons, 

 horses, etc. As a rule, artillery must be shown as though 

 behind cover, by the half battery targets. When full targets 

 are used they must be i)laced, as in actual service, in rear of 

 elevations, so that only the upj^er part shows above cover.
