of points in precision drills. If necessary for the selection, 

 preliminary competitions may be held. 



Prize Shooting. — Prize shooting takes place during the 

 regimental meeting on a day when the conditions of air, 

 weather, etc., are as favorable as possible, and when those 

 who take part have not recently been fatigued by long field 

 maneuvers, etc. 



The prize shooting is arranged and conducted like a pre- 

 cision drill "with point calculation" excepting that no pack 

 is carried; that officers are detailed for detachment com- 

 manders and as chiefs for the markers, and that to each 

 target an underofficer is detailed to watch the markers. 



Prizes. — The prizes are : 



Shooting medals of silver to wear on the breast. 



Shooting marks, two crossed rifles of red cloth, to wear on 

 the right forearm ; and 



Money prizes, and, as a distinction and reward for good 

 distance judges, a five-pointed star on red cloth to wear on 

 the right forearm. 



For distribution as money prizes each regiment receives 

 annually 300 kronor, for four prizes of 20 kronor, eight prized 

 at 10 kronor, and twenty-eight prizes of 5 kronor. 



Each corps or battalion receives annually 150 kronor, for 

 two prizes of 20 kronor, four prizes of 10 kronor, and fourteen 

 prizes of 5 kronor. 



A "shooting medal" is given to the one who at the prize 

 shooting makes 45 points, or who in two succeeding years 

 gets 43 points, if he has not already a medal. 



Shooting badges are also given to those who receive shooting 

 medals and to those who in two successive years have fulfilled 

 the requirements of the school shooting at the regimental 

 meetings, and received at least 40 points in precision shooting. 



Those who receive this mark of distinction are called 

 marksmen. 



Money prizes are given to all who, at a prize shooting, 

 make at least 30 points. 



Money prizes not distributed may, by order of the regi- 

 mental commander, be divided between the "distance judges." 



The distribution of prizes takes place in the presence of the 

 whole regiment, corps, or battalion. 



Records and reports are required of all kinds of shooting.
