Interesting think about the best shots in RVN. I don't mean the bullet sprayers, but the real shooters.

The best were those "early shooters" from the South and West, especially those with real world hunting and firing range experience as opposed to just range experience.

The second excellent group where the kids with absolutely no weapons experience. They had no bad habits to unlearn. Saw a number of trainees who had never held a weapon before (literally never even having touched a firearm before) shoot 60/60 on the qual course, then go on to do very well at Advanced Marksmanship school.

One was a Boston rabbi's son who had been taught that weapons were an abomination. Ended up a great LRRPer. Routinely killed at 600+ meters on Nui ba Den. Could have shot further, but no way to see beyond that range in that area of III Corps.

Ok, this is a bragging moment...the top sniper is from...ready? NEBRASKA!!! He said the competetion was firce, he went up against officers from other countries from all over the world. But he said those guys haven't been hunting since they were 5 so that helped. He said most of the snipers are from the midwestern states (hunting states & RED states) and that they always compete among themselves...you know that state pride thing!
