They had two types of butts. The automatic one and the ones in your post. Roughly where the grass starts was the target holder which you had to lift up or down. We was also given a big black arrow on a long poll. We used these to point where the round had hit, as the shooter could not see if they hit the target.
I tell you, the first time I was there I shit me pants as you had a bunch of live rounds buzzing over a bunch of 15yr olds heads.
Many thanks for agreat post
