Abstract: A target is moving along a straight‐line path. Random portions of the path might be invisible to the hunter (in shadow). Shooting trials are conducted only along the visible segments of the path. An algorithm for the numerical determination of the survival probability of the target is developed. This algorithm is based on the distribution of shadow length, which is also developed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
