Lights flashing at split-second intervals on a landscape target help to make marksmen of R. Q. T. C. cadets at the University of Wisconsin's 1,000-irch indoor Tifle range. The arrangement of lights brings “blitzkrieg” atmosphere and the element of surprise to target practice, and trains both officers and men to fight confusion when attacked from all sides. The lower half of the target consists of a scene painted in color and studded with two round lights representing machine gun nests, and two long, thin lights that simulate ambushed infantrymen. The cadets aim at these, but the sights of their rifles are set so bullets hit 23 inches above, on the upper half of the target, which is a duplicate of the lower section printed in black and white. Scoring sheets placed over the locations corresponding to the lights on the lower part record the marksmanship of each squad. To prevent seeing where bullets are hitting, which cannot be seen in actual battle, a canvas is drawn over the upper half until firing has ceased. Twelve men in a squad divide up the hedge, each covering his portion by shooting at three points within it. While firing continues, the officer at the controls may flash one of the lights representing a machine gun nestproviding a test in fast thinking for the sergeant leading the squad, who must then assign enough of his men to cover this new point of attack to maintain his fire superiority. The rifles used are .22 caliber.
