CMC16 COACH TARGET ENGAGEMENT TECHNIQUES AT UNKNOW DISTANCES WITH THE SERVICE RIFLE Flashcards
What is a point target
a point target is a man sized target
what are the six range estimation techniques?
- unit of measure method
- appearance of objects method
- RCO stadia line method
- combination of method
- bracketing
6.halving
three factors affecting range estimations
- nature of target
- nature of terrain
- light conditions
explain contrating targets
a target that contrasts with its background will appear to be close than one that blends in with its background
explain partially exposed
a partially exposed object will appear to be father away than it actually is
explain larger objects
a target will appear father away if the target is smaller than the objects surrounding it
upward slopping terrain
gives the illusion of shorter distance
downward sloping terrain
gives the illusion of greater distance
dead space
will tend to make the garget appear to be CLOSER
Smooth terrain
will give the illusion of greater distance
a lower firing position gives…
the appearance of the target being further away
three light conditions
- clear day
- visibility of the target
- position of the sun
what is unit of measure method
visualizing a know distance and estimating how many of those units fit between the shooter and the target
what is appearance of objects method
recognizing the amount of detail or lack of detail of an object and associate a distance with it
what is RCO stadia line method
placing the horizontal stadia line across the chest of the target
