Synopsis
A System Of Target Practice: For The Use Of Troops When Armed With The Musket, Rifle-Musket, Rifle, Or Carbine. Prepared Principally From The French, By Henry Heth. Captain Henry Heth's System Of Target Practice provides a comprehensive, drill-based manual for training U.S. troops in marksmanship with small arms. Translated from the French Instruction provisoire and prepared by the War Department, the work outlines methods for aiming, firing, and maintaining discipline across positions—from skirmisher stand to kneeling and other postures—using caps, blank cartridges, and ball ammunition. It emphasizes progressive instruction: aiming, proper loading, sustained posture, sight settings, and distance estimation, culminating in firing by file, company or rank, and platoon. The text includes detailed drills, plates, and record forms for tracking performance, as well as guidance on target construction, scoring, and prizes to incentivize accuracy. Originating in 1862, this edition preserves an influential framework for improving soldier fire discipline and effectiveness in the Union army.
