At ranges short of that at which the first refracted wave is detected, a series of small charges is frequently fired to get a w'ide-angle reflection profile; in this case the amount of energy is usually more than adequate, even with quite small charges, and efficiency is sacrificed so as to obtain a less complex arrival by firing the charges so near the surface that
