And you're right about the USMC, but do me a favor and smile when you say it please. I thought I could shoot when I joined the Corps but my Instructor showed me how to score hits at 600 meters using the iron sights on an M-16.
Once I got my MOS, the schooling really started and it wasn't all about shooting.
Thanks for the tip on the book. I'll see if I can dig it up.

I got trained by old squirrel hunters who believed that anything but a head shot is a waste of meat. When I started shooting black powder competition, I only had one rifle, a flintlock. I could shoot it against the caplocks, but not the other way around. I did pretty good. The lock time on a flintlock is highly variable, sometimes fast, sometimes not, you got to hold until it goes off, a flinch shows up big time, LOL. My right eye still has scars.
