Don't get me started...

Table 1/KD Course of Fire has been gutted, and the pursuit of ever-smaller groups is a mental disorder, like Firearms Collecting v. Acquisition.


Good Field marksmanship is ~ 2.5-3 MOA, if you can hit from field positions quickly.


Shoot how you run in the field.

Me? That's BDU's/Boots, Rifle w/ a 1-1/4" web sling, and a lightly loaded assault pack.


While not outstanding, this is at least honest marksmanship.

60 yards and in w/ a 10lb rifle resulting in 2 misses on an IPSC sized target, pretty impressive "marksmanship".

Said it was honest... not outstanding.


Believe he starts at 100.

One miss.

And the shots on paper were from 60 yards, w/ no misses.


Have an adult watch it with you next time.


Let bench-monkeys shoot my M1 rifle at the range all the time, and they do much worse just standin' still.


Marksmanship is a skill.
