Range Report Sniper Calibration Grid?

[TheGunmanThatNeverWas]

Hi all, I'm new here. I have a little question about a puzzle a friend showed me the other day. I'm not looking for the answer cause I like solving puzzles, but I was wondering if someone can give me some info on this picture:

I know it's one of those sheets you shoot at to improve your aim. by the circles in the corners it looks like this is to adjust the sight/scope. I assume that the happy and sad faces are shots, but what I don't get it is why the two on the person/target are sad. Are they enemy fire? It there a way of determining in what order the shots were fired?

It looks like 20% of the shots were on target at 300 meters.

Does this make any sense to you?

Thanks,
Me.

Looks like they took a reduced distance sight-in target for an M16/M4 and put some graphics on it. Typically on something like this I'd guess the smileys are good guys, the frowners are bad guys. Shoot the bad guys, don't shoot the good guys, that sort of thing. Or maybe they were just bored

It's a learning aid for adjusting Point Of Impact with iron sights.

Read any manual for M- or AR type rifles, then it will make sense.

Cool thanks. I'll have to find a manual and read it.
