DA Form 5790, Record Firing Scorecard - Scaled Target Alternate Course, is a form used for recording scores during alternate qualification courses.
The scorecard - sometimes referred to as the DA Form 5790-R or the DD Form 5790 - was released by the Department of the Army (DA) on December 1, 2016. An up-to-date DA Form 5790 is available for download below or can be found through the Army Publishing Directorate website. The current version of the form supersedes the DA Form 5790-R Jan. 2011 edition.
The two Army-authorized alternate record fire courses are the Known Distance (KD) record fire range and the 25-meter scaled target alternate course, used when the KD range is unavailable. The DA 5790 is used specifically during the 25-meter scaled target alternate course. The 25-meter course allows testing a Soldier's weapon marksmanship proficiency. Firing at scaled silhouettes allows Soldiers to engage targets with feedback and within time constraints.
To complete this course, Soldiers fire three tables. Table 1 is fired from a prone supported firing position or supported position in 120 seconds. Table 2 is fired from a prone unsupported firing position over a period of 60 seconds. Table 3 is fired kneeling in an unsupported firing position over a period of 30 seconds.
An overview of the Army record firing scorecard and filing guidelines can be found in the TC 3-22.9, Rifle and Carbine, released in May 2016. DA Form 5790 instructions are as follows:
