Mirror and Adjustable Target Teach Sighting and Aiming

Contenuto

At Camp Callan, Calif., new recruits are learning to sight a riflewithout firing a shot. With a new aiming and sighting apparatus the target is maneuvered into line with the sight instead of et moving the rifle, which is mounted immovable. The apparatus includes two parallel bars of wood a foot apart, at the far end of which a ten-cent mirror is attached. A circular piece of metal clamped to a wooden slab forms the target. Sighting and aiming are accomplished by adjusting the target until it is in line with the rifle sights as reflected in the mirror. The device is said to be foolproof and does away with hit-or miss methods which were used formerly.
