TARGET PRACTICE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



When the nature of the ground will not permit the use of 

 moving targets, fixed targets showing the objects as they 

 would actually appear may be used.

SIMULATED FIRE. 



As the sound would be drowned by the real firing of groups 

 or larger bodies of infantry, it is used for individual fire only, 

 or for squads when their attention is to be drawn to targets 

 which they would not otherwise detect. It is produced by 

 the explosion of crackers behind the covers. 



The fire of artillery is simulated by the explosion of bombs 

 or petards of different kinds, gaged to give the desired sound 

 and appearance. They are exploded by means of fuses.
