Summary:

Soldiers must be able to adjust the sights of their weapon in the field without the use of the zero target. The 10-click rule is only one possible alternate method to the range-computation method that could accomplish this. Others could include more extensive training using the present method, more actual live-fire practicing adjusting sights, or more field sight adjustment exercises; however, many of these may not be very cost effective. If a training rule is to be developed, there are certain needs that must be met in order to have an effective rule. This rule must be comprehendable, easy to explain, concise, quickly executable, and most important, it must be accurate. The 10- click rule has the potential to satisfy all these needs. Although this research was conducted with a small number of subjects, it does reflect support for further investigation into using the 10-click rule as a replacement to the presently used range-computation formula. Keywords: Markmanship; M16A1 rifle.
