"When did my USMC change from yards to meters ??
Did they move the targets back to the correct metered measurement?
Or am I just so old I can't remember correctly?"



Joe, we are still using yards. 200, 300 and 500 on the KD course. Semper Fi.

Joe, SST...

Edson Range at Pendleton is calibrated in meters, and Parris Island is in yards. It takes 4 fewer points to get the various grades on the metric course (186-206 is Marksman, 207-216 is Sharpshooter, 217 and up is expert). 250 is still a possible (and a REE-KROOT supposedly got one at Edson in 1988).
