How should adjustments be handled if the target is moving quickly?

• A. Ignore movement and fire as planned.
• B. Keep firing without updating until the target is hit.
• C. Continuously update target location with offset data, possibly reissue a new target and use rapid adjustments.
• D. Wait for the target to stop moving before firing.

Answer: (C)

When a target is moving quickly, you keep fire on it by continuously updating its location and applying corrections in rapid succession. This means sending offset data to shift your aim as the target’s position changes, and reissuing a new target if needed to get fresh sighting data. Then you implement rapid adjustments so the rounds stay aligned with the target’s current position. This approach prevents misses that would occur from stale data and lets the fire remain on the moving target. Waiting for the target to stop or sticking with old coordinates isn’t workable for fast movers and would lead to missed shots.
