Gerben,
the Testfiring is a difficult procedure and it is described at the time of WWII in Goerz book "Die Pistole 08".
The copy you own is the exact copy of a bigger one, used to shoot on the 50 meters distance. So the smaller copy is needed to mark the strikes and put them into an archive of the unit the gun belonges to.
The shooter uses that special table, something to support, like a sand bag and a chair to sit on.
I don�´t really belive they have been allowed to use a Arty stock!
the picture is showing this target from that old 1905 Infanerie booklet!

I have shown both, the target and the Trefferbild we use still today so You can see the difference in the dimensions! Each circle is belonging to different guns like Pistol, Machine Pistol etc.
left hand is the real 25meter target
right hand is the trefferbild !

Testfiring is fulfilled when 5 rounds hit the center??

by the way, great picture of the shooting range! It remembers me on a range in Ferlach, the famous Hunting Gun City in Austria.
