What is a round that is range correct during an impact registration considered as?

When a round is considered "range correct" during an impact registration, it means that the round has successfully impacted at the designated target distance. In artillery and fire support operations, achieving a precise impact at the correct range is critical for ensuring the effectiveness of fire missions.

A round impacting in the intended location indicates that the fire support team has accurately calculated the necessary data for aiming, including factors such as distance, elevation, and environmental conditions. This accuracy allows the artillery to hit the target location as intended, which is essential for mission success.

In contrast, the terms "over," "short," or "accurate" do not specifically capture the notion of a round directly hitting the intended target range. "Short" refers to rounds that fall short of the target, while "over" indicates they have landed beyond it. "Accurate," while suggestive, is a broader term and does not denote the specific achievement of hitting a target as directly as referring to it as a "target." Therefore, when a round is range correct upon its registration, it is aptly classified as having successfully reached the target.
