So this week, I'm actually on the range. It's been pretty cool so far, except for waking up a 315 everyday. Shooting the M16A4 (see above) with the ACOG (the scope). It's a first for me, shooting long distance with the ACOG. It's a lot easier to shoot at 200yds and closer. Sight picture and Sight Alignment is about automatic. If u can't see thru the scope than something in the latter is wrong.
However it gets harder as you go back to the 300 and the 500 yard line. Yep Marines get to shoot at 500 yards, 5 football fields. But since we using the ACOG, I'm not supposed to adjust for wind, I'm suppose to offset aim and Wilcox range has a lot of wind in the afternoon. At one full value at the 5oo yard line, I am aiming almost to the left side edge of my target. Dats a lot of adjustment.
Anyways I shoot for qualification tomorrow. Hopefully there isn't to much wind.
o, and u gotta make sure to keep dat ACOG a decent distance from ur eye. Cause the recoil will send it back and hit you on ur face.
