Excerpt from Mobile Artillery Targets, Accessories, and Smoke-Bomb Outfits
These targets are for the purpose of enabling the mobile artillery troops to have firing practice in time of peace against fixed targets representing hostile guns and infantry.
The targets are rough wooden silhouettes cut out in such shape and painted so as to present the appearance of guns and caissons; machine guns; running, kneeling, and prone infantry. These targets are to be made up at the various posts or ranges by enlisted men from rough lumber and nails to be purchased in the vicinity and from drawings furnished the post ordnance officers by the ordnance officers of the respective departments. The paint and other hardware, except nails, will be furnished from Rock Island Arsenal in accordance with allowances shown on Plate II. These allowances have been com puted to include enough material to make the number of targets of the various kinds as specified in columns headed regimental and detached battalion allowances.
