Now can you hit heads at 300, yes, some are very capable, and some are capable with irons. But most raw recruits, non gun people, in any situation are lucky to hit a human anywhere in the body at 300 IMHO.
Agreed! Very few recruits are gun people, maybe more now than when I was in though (especially if you count video games...
) . I spent an f'ing week on KP because the first morning of marksmanship training at the range (Ft Benning - Summer 1989) I did what I was capable of (sighted in my own rifle and actually hit the targets) and immediately got pulled off the line and sent to KP until the day of qualification. I was told I didn't need to be there as much as the rest of my platoon, most of which were from urban areas and had no experiences with rifles.
