We started my grouping, which is where you practice your breath control and trigger squeeze to "group" three shots within three centimeters.
Then we moved onto zeroing, which is where you shoot at a target to see where your groups fall. For instance, if your groups are in the upper left, you adjust your sights down and right so your weapon "zeros" in on the target when you look through the sights.
Finally, we qualified! For Basic Rifle Marksmenship, 40 pop up targets that you rotate through prone supported (place your weapon on a sandbag), prone unsupported (prop your M4 by your elbows), and kneeling (on your knees):
Then, we did Advanced Rifle Marksmenship. This was different because you shot multiple different shots and stationary targets while moving. Very cool, and I kicked some of the boys butts!
