I shot 240 iron sites and they let me train as a primary marksmanship instructor (never taught anyone) and after training I got to shoot with Match M1s in a tournament.
The match M1s final distance on a round target (prone) was 600 yards, iron only. I didn’t place or anything but it was a good distraction on Okinawa.

Ha, ha, I did hold the recruit battalion record of 132 sit-ups in two minutes. Other than that, I wasn’t the greatest recruit.

Loved the M1. A lot of bark, but little bite.
