Abstract: Two simulated experiments were performed to investigate somepractical problems in marksmanship training. The main results were asfollows: (1)The score of those making half an hour's practice in twoperiods of 20 trials separated by 14 to 18-minutes rest interval wassignificantly better than that of those making 100 trials in succession,and virtually equalled the score of those making 100 trials with severalrest intervals in between. (2) The important role of kinestheticdiscrimination training in improving the method of shooting practicewas evidently manifested.(3)The score of those aiming at fulfilling apredetermined criterion qf the number of hits greatly surpassed that ofthose having no such criterion in mind. This study would have somesignificance to raising the efficiency of shooting practice and cuttingdown bullet consumption, and might also be helpful to training programsin other sports.
