I'm hoping you all can help me, I recall reading an article in a magazine during last summer. It was a rifle scope turret exercise, basically a target with several smaller targets located on it. If I remember correctly, you start on say target 1, send 3 rounds down range, spotter calls correction, you adjust turrets, your crosshairs stay on target 1, send 1 down range, should impact target 2, spotter calls correction, you adjust turrets, your crosshairs stay on target 1, send 1 down range, should impact target 3, etc, and eventually you should end up back at your original zero when all is said and done. Hopefully someone can make a somewhat coherent thought out of that and may remember the article.

Not sure of the article, this is how we run a similar drill:
The target above is posted at 100 yards (it does not have the corrections printed on it just the targets/boxes) Shooter fires at the Center Aiming Point Target and fires 1-3 rounds to confirm zero (can also use this for cold bore and group exercise) Shooter keeps aiming at the Center Aiming Point Target, Spotter gives what they think is the correction for Target 1. Shooter makes the adjustment called by the Spotter, fires (while aiming at the Center Target), should hit Target 1, if not the Spotter gives another correction and Shooter Fires. This goes on until they have a center hit on Target 1. At that point you can continue the drill using one of 2 formats: Return to Zero Drill - Shooter returns their scope to zero and fires a round to confirm they are back on the Center Aiming Point Target. The Spotter then gives a correction to Target #2. Call Continuation (pictured above) - Shooter holds the adjustment they have, and the Spotter gives the correction to Target #2. The process is repeated using one of the 2 formats until all targets have been hit, and the Shooter is back on the original Center Aiming Point Target. You can run this as a very basic drill with no time limits using the Return to Zero format which gives new Shooters and Spotters a lot of practice. You can run this an advanced drill with a short time limit, round count limitations, using the Call Continuation format. Hope that makes sense and helps. Best of Luck, M Richardson |
