There was nothing to keep the soldier from going to the range - prior to combat - and test firing and dialing in the gun with the adjustable sights. Together with the wooden stock and practice, the shooter can get rather proficient with this weapon. I am surprised that more members don't mention about firing their artillerys. I have an old warhorse 1915 that appears to have been in several wars: no bluing left, etc., barrel doesn't look great - but she shoots real good.
