Messages  passed between Firing point and Butts

Usually given as " message ? target ?".

So  a person on target 5 who is about to start shooting would ask the Range Conducting Officer (RCO) to pass "Message 1 target 5"

 

Message:-

1 - Firing about to commence
 
2 - No spotting disc visible
 
3 - Spotting disc unmistakably disagrees with signalled value. Check the spotting disc shows last shot and signal it's correct value.* Range Conducting Officer is to view target before passing message.
 
4 - A shot has been fired but no signal has been made. Examine the target carefully and signal the shot if found or a miss.*
 
5 - Firer has challenged for a higher value for his shot. Examine the whole target and signal the correct value.*
 
6 - Radio the number of hits as Score Board figures are not clear (Service Rifle and Cadets only).
 
7 - Miss has been signalled but firer has challenged for a scoring shot. Re-examine the target carefully and signal the shot if found or a miss.*
 
 
  8 - Firer has challenged his score. Re-examine the target and show the correct number and the value of shots.*
 
9 - Marking / shooting appears to be unduly slow. Butt / Range Conducting Officer to check and correct where necessary.
