Instructions
1. Firers in Standing Alert position.
2. Order “Watch and Shoot”.
3. On appearance of the first exposure firers are to fire one round, then adopt the kneeling supported position and fire a further round at this exposure.
4. Targets are fall when hit.

Practice 4. Snap
Range/Positioning 100 m Kneeling / Squatting Unsupported Ammunition 10 Rounds
Target/ Exposure 1. Figure 11.
2. 5 x 10 second exposures with irregular intervals of 5 to 10 seconds between exposures.

Practice 5. Snap
Range/Positioning 100 m Kneeling Supported Ammunition 10 Rounds
Target/ Exposure
1. Figure 11.
2. 5 x double exposures.
3. At each double expo- sure the tar- gets are up for 10 seconds, down for 4 seconds, up for 6 seconds.
Instructions
1. Firers in the standing alert position 5m behind the FP.
2. Order “Watch Out”.
3. The appearance of the target is the signal for the firer to move onto the firing point, adopt the kneeling supported position and fire one round at each exposure.
4. Targets are fall when hit.
5. Between double exposures firers will be ordered “Apply your Safety Catches, Stand up, dress back 5m then adopt the standing alert position”.
Practice 6. Snap/Rapid
Range/Positioning 100 m Prone Ammunition 10 Rounds Target/ Exposure 1. Figure 11.
2. 5 x 4 second exposures with irregular intervals, followed by a 15 second intervals and 1 x 15 second exposure.
Instructions
1. Firers in prone position.

Practice 7. Snap
Range/Positioning 100 m Standing and Kneeling Supported Ammunition 10 Rounds
Target/ Exposure
1. Figure 11.
2. 5 x double exposures.
3. At each double exposure the targets are up for 8 seconds, down for 5 seconds, up for 6 seconds.
Instructions
1. Firers in the standing supported position 5m to the rear of the firing point.
2. Order ”Watch Out”.
3. The appearance of the target is the signal for the firer to move to the firing point, adopt the standing supported position and fire one round at that exposure, firers are then to adopt the kneeling supported position and fire a further round at the next exposure.
4. Targets are fall when hit.
5. Between double exposures firers will be ordered “Apply your safety catches, stand up and dress back five metres, adopt the standing alert position”.
Practice 8. Rapid
Range/Positioning 50 m Standing Unsupported Ammunition 5 Rounds
Target/ Exposure 1. Figure 12 at foot of Mantlet (see note).
2. 5 x 4 second exposures with irregular intervals.
Instructions 1. Firers in the nominated position.
2. Order “Watch and Shoot”.
3. Fire one round at each exposure.
Note: Figure 12 stick-in targets are to be positioned in front of the mantlet. Firers are to move forward of the 100m firing point until 50m in front of the target. Targets positioned in the Hythe frames or SARTS on top of the Mantlet may only be engaged where Range Standing Orders permit their use.
Scoring
03279. One point per hit.
Standards
03280. To achieve the required standard the firer must achieve the OMS at each firing distance (see relevant table below). Failure to achieve the OMS at any firing distance will constitute a failure of the LF lesson, however, only the practices at the firing distances where the OMS was not met need to be fired again. Firers who fail are to undergo further practice, with coaching for the areas of weakness, before re-testing.
