The military doesn't teach rifle marksmanship. It teaches equipment familiarity. Despite what the officer corps thinks, learning to shoot a rifle is not like learning to drive a car. Instead, it is like learning to play the violin. . . . The equipment familiarity learning curve comes up quick, but then the rifle marksmanship continuation of the curve rises very slowly. . . . by shooting one careful shot at a time, carefully inspecting the result (and the cause).
It's always better to be deep rather than shallow. And I'm deep.
