I see that since '02 you've only posted 39 times. Thanks. Some of us, I'm sure, look forward to more silence from you.

I still maintain that she could shoot your tulips at 200 yards with an M-16, medal or no.

Thank God for Marines and the other services who are making sure we idiots can have the luxury of saying or posting whatever we want in this country.

yup the 200 yard line on the KD range is in fact the bread and butter as far as points go.  Wasnt insulting her (although she will take some greif for being a "pizza box"....speaking from experience here)

What's funny is I was lousy at first at the 200 meter line but 300 slow fire and 500m slow fire I excelled at.

I found the 500 to be the gimmie.  Tighten the strap and cut off the circulation on your upper arm, wedge the stock into your shoulder and done.

yup it's hard to miss when shooting a 5ft target with a loop sling.  If you got a good zero on your weapon and wind call just line up the black and squeze, the rifle and position do most of the work.

on the new range scoring system you get 2 points per hit on the 200m slow fire, dog target, sitting kneeling standing for a total of 30 points.  After that it's all bread and butter.  Do that and get 1 out of 2 possibles on the rapid fire and you got expert no problemo.

Unfortunatly I didn't learn to properly shoot till my last range in the corps so i never got a second award expert.

I found it was all about being flexible, in the sitting position I could lean forward and get my elbows on the ground.  Helped out alot.  We would spend a good week's worth of stretching and finding a good position before we shot.

Sitting and standing I sucked at because I wasn't that flexible and being 5 11" didn't help.  Kneeling otoh was my best.  Alot of guys complained about the kneeling but I allways had a real good position and could maintain it long enough without my ankles or knees hurting too much.  

Prone was a piece of cake except on the Range at yuma.  We had gravel on our firing line.  Doing the range in the hottest part of august laying down on 100+ degree rocks with out any shade what so ever was an exercise in pain to say the least.

My kneeling position turned into a sitting position, more or less.  Sort of cheating, but it worked.

Not sure, just the women have them.  Deco?

Women Reservists were easily recognized by their unique, visored bell-crowned hat, trimmed with a lipsick-red cord which set them apart from the WACs, WAVES, and SPARS whose hats closely resembled one anothers.
