Aiming group

Aiming group— pattern made on a surface by a series of pencil marks that test the ability of a soldier to sight a gun properly; shot group. The soldier directs a small disk target to be moved until it is aligned with the sights of a gun in a fixed position. The position of the disk is marked by a pencil dot made through the hole in the disk. Three such dots make up an aiming group.
