The K11 & K31 Manual - SwissRifles

66, 67
The shooting program should contain the exercises mentioned the Chapter 8 and can be developed
according the circumstances. Where it is not possible to shoot over an open field, camouflaged targets mu st
be used. In this situation, only sight in on the center of the target. In normal situations, the choice of
shooting positions should change; shooting in a sitting position should be practiced as well as other
positions. When performing a more advanced training stage, the time for the exercise will be limited.
Shooting at a 10-point target at 300m, after performing exercise numbers 1 and 2 will be the exception and
not the rule. Most of the practice time and ammunition should be spent in sight adjustment training on field
targets at unknown distances.
