What points must be kept in mind while assembling Rif .22?

Bolt head to be fully tight.
Bolt head and guide rib as well as cocking piece and steel lug to be in a line.
Number of the bolt should tally with that of the rifle.
Safety catch should be applied.
 LOADING, COCKING AN UNLOADING
What is the drill for loading and unloading in the lying position for Rif .22?
To lie down, take a long pace forward with the left foot and at the same time pass
the rifle into left hand, grasping it at the point of balance. Place the right hand on
to the ground in line with the left foot. During this movement push the rifle
forward and lower to the ground. The left arm will now be extended to the front.
The legs will be well apart. Now load the rifle as taught.
Unload the rifle without further orders. Place the right hand on the ground below
the right shoulder. Draw up the left hand. Stand up as quickly as possible.
 LYING POSITION AND HOLD
What are the three basic essentials of good shooting?
Position must be comfortable and hold so firm that the rifles gains a rock like
steadiness.
The firer must aim correctly.
The trigger be pressed in such a way that aim is not disturbed.

What are the characteristics of good lying position?

Legs opened wide apart and body slanting to the left from the line of the target.
Formation of the two triangles:-
Horizontal triangle formed by the three points where the chest leaves the
ground, the left elbow and the right elbow.
Vertical triangle as viewed form the front of firer the two of its sides are
formed by the forearms, the base being the ground between elbows. In
addition as a quick check, the shoulders should be level.
 AIMING – RANGE AND TARGETS
Define laws of aiming?
Focus the target so that a clear picture is formed on the retina of the eye and get
the true center of the target. Then with the eye focus to the foresight.
Hold the rifle properly as has already been taught and keep it upright.
Close the left eye and focus the foresight.
See the foresight through the black sight. The foresight should be seen right in
the center of the U. The tip of the foresight must be aligned in the centre and in
level with the shoulder of the U.

What are the targets used for firing with Rif .22?
For application firing 1' x 1' target is used. The aim is to be taken at the bull
which is the black, center most circle.
For grouping, 1' x 1' target with a white patch in the center of the bull is used.
For rapid firing, 6 inches figure target is used. The aim is taken at the center of
the figure.
 TRIGGER CONTROL AND FIRING A SHOT
What are essentials of good shooting?
Determination :
Accurate shooting is never achieved without concentration, each
time a shot is fired the firer must be fully determined that it is going
to be perfect one.
Turning the shot :
From the time correct holding is achieved, more than five seconds
should not be taken to fire a shot. Dwelling on the aim cause the
eye and muscles to tire and results in bad shooting.
Action on Range being ordered :
When the “range” is given the firer should adjust his sights and
await for indication of the target.
What is the sequence of action while firing a shot?
Aiming Position :
On taking the aim, the firer must take the first pressure.

Breathing :
Just before taking an aim, breathing must be gently restrained. It is
important to coordinate so that when the foresight come to the
point of aim, the breath is partially exhaled.

Firing :
The hold and aim must be maintained until the bullet has left the
barrel. Better still firer should allow through until the bullet has
reach the target.
RANGE PROCEDURE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
What is the normal procedure on the firing points?
The party to fire is brought within about 100 yds. of the firing point.
The practices to be fired are explained
Firers are detailed to targets
The coaches, ammunition party and look out men take up their positions
The first two details only form up behind their targets.
On the order of “Age Barth” (Detail advance) the first detail will take position on
the firing point.
On the lowering of the red flag at the butt, the officer supervision the firing point
may order his red flag to be taken down and give the order of “Detail Advance”.
The coaches check up their positions and correct them if needed, and the word
of command “Limber up”. On this, the firers must align rifles as they have been
taught. The officer will then give the order to load and carry on.
The firing will start only after getting orders from officer-in-charge firing.
On completion of fire, the firers must raise their right hand up, keeping the elbow
on the ground.
Officer – in – charge will give the word of command “Khali Kar”. On this the
firers will take their rifles onto their shoulders and move the bolt twice, press the
trigger and stand up.
The officer – in – charge will give the command “Detail Report” on this the firers
would report “Number ek rifle theek, do theek, … number char fifle theek”. The
report will be from left to right.
The details are changed by word of command and the new detail which has been
waiting comes up while another detail forms up behind.
Before the firer leaves the range they will have a further weapon inspection.
Each firer will be asked whether she has any life ammunition. It will be ensured
that they have no live ammunition.
 ALTERATION OF SIGHT
What is Mean Point of Impact (MPI)?
The central point of area covered by the group of rounds fired with consistent
aim and held at the same aiming mark is called MPI.

What is the elevation at different ranges?

The amount of alteration necessary may be found from the following table which
shows the change of MPI when the sight is changed by 100 yards.

Range Target Rise or drop of MPI on Target

200 Yards 6 inches
300 Yards 12 inches
400 Yards 18 inches
500 Yards 24 inches
An alteration of 50 yards in the sight will bring half the effect shown above. 200
yards will double it on the target.
 THEORY OF GROUPING
What is grouping capacity?
The diameter of a circle containing all five shots, fired by a man to the best of his
ability is known as his grouping capacity.
