    Military targets used during rifle training

    Does anyone have a picture or pdf of the targets used by either the Canadianicon or Britishicon forces for rifle training with the No4 rifle? I found the cadet's version used with the No7 rifle but I can't find any for it's 303 British big brother..

    Thanks!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    You should be able to access the publication "Shoot to Kill" which was the CFP at the time...there should be a PDF available? It's all going to be in there.

    Figure 2, 3, 5, 6 and 4A targets, from Small Arms Training, Volume V (War Supplement), Small Arms Ranges - Layout Safety & Equipment (1945).

    This was termed Vol.5 to jive with Small Arms Training, 1931, Volume Five, which covered range construction, and of which this was the only volume of this publication to remain in force by that time.

    I think you will end up drawing your own.

    I'm guessing you want to shoot these? You need bristol board to make a template and do them by hand to start, then use news print roll ends for paper to trace onto. Then you have this shape you can readily trace a few out before range day. Staple them onto your witness screens and "Look Out - Look Out!"
