He is tatight .that the bullet' travels
through the air in a curved line, call-
ed the trajectory, . and •that three
forces act upon it; first, the exploded

- a straight line along the line of fire;
second, the force of gravity, and third,
• the air resistance. ' At 200 yards,
o owing to these forces the bullet tray -

B above their heads. Now, it has been
r. feline by experiment that the fact of -
t bayonets will cause the bullet
▪ to drop a distance of about 21-2 feet !
in 350 yards, and, therefore, when ,

e soldiers are instructed to fix bayonets,

The recruit learns that the mean ex-

observed was 3,760 Yards, He is

Only experience can teach a soldier
how much he must aim to the eight or
*left of his mark to counteract the,
force of the wind. IA. side wind has
more effect on tho flight of a bullet
than a wind blowing directly toward
the firer. The soldier must learn the
habitat of his rifle, since some shoot
