This should make qualifying at the rifle range while in the military a bit easier.

I had a good laugh when someone was telling me they allow Marines to qualify with an ACOG sight. I don’t know if that is true or not, but it would not surprise me.

In the Canadian army we use a 4 times site. We also have a tough qualifier. We start shooting at 100m, different positions, then 200m, then 300m. Then we start at 400m, and we do a run down. It’s timed, you have to sprint to 300m, get a number of shots off at two different targets, then spring to 200m and from kneeling hit two different targets, then sprint to 100m and do some more. Then we advance to 75m and stand, advance again, fully auto.

Sometimes the conditions we do this in are so bad, that there’s no way anyone would pass, so the guys in the ‘butts’ help out a little lol.

I always thought it was iron sights only? (I have no military experience) In the BSA in the 60s, we had to shoot NRA competition with iron sight; no scopes, although I had an easily removable 4x Bushnell on my old Mossberg 144LS .22LR at the time.

As one who did fairly well on the USMC Known Distance (200, 300 & 500 yds) ranges using iron sights, first on the M-14 and later the M-16, I say, "More power to them".

You fight like you train.
