Thing is I do have one bad habit. When I got the target in sight, I pull the trigger right away. What this means is that I do hit the target with the 5.56 (.223) but sometimes the groupings could look bad. I'm just aiming at different points since in our style of training, we had five seconds to go from a near standing position to a prone position, aim, fire and then come back up again to repeat the process. Oh yeah, and you also have to take two steps forward and two steps back.
I guess the other guy's serious about being a good shot and maybe I should follow suit if I want to up my marksmanship to longer distances.
I watched a special about Army Olympic sharp shooting. They used .300's and shot at a maximum range of 600 yards. This was just about one team, im sure there are a lot more...happy shooting
