A pistol shot.

I wonder how many hours a day these guys spend on a rifle range? The average GI gets a few hours a year, these snipers probably spend all but a few hours a day. They don't just practice the easy shots either. They go for the hard to difficult to darn near impossible. Great to hear items like this coming out. Makes all the training the military does worth while. I just hope that Bush puts the skids to Rummy and his plans for further downsizing. I am certain the air campaign will get more than their fair share of credit.
