I've heard it said that every Marine is a rifleman, but can the same be said about a handgun ???

Marksman is the lowest Qualification, the shooting badge is referred to as a "Toilet seat". ::)

Great trigger squeeze technique, that's why I like to press them.

I don't usually nitpick, Tom, but I will here. A Marksman badge is usually referred to as a "pizza box"

Must be a new thing, remember, I been OUT 30 years ;D
We just called expert "Crossed Rifles", had to check, I thought they still had the 03 on it but mine has Garand's like the one pictured.

Bulldog,
That's actually been a point of contention with the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and he's decided we need to rededicate to it. For awhile there, we just weren't focusing on competition like the other services. That has now changed, and hopefully we'll start making a better showing at the matches.

I'll leave that question for the "New Breed" to answer, in my day the Army sucked.
But I will say it might be because they discovered something besides full auto. ;D

A good example of NOT learning anything about guns on the internet. ::)

I posted it because I wasn't sure if there was anything he did that passed for acceptable by anyone else... He did manage to not shoot himself! ;) That's a plus!

My thought is to skip this video and go directly to the Todd Jarrett instructional video. He teaches the most sound basics that I've personally ever seen.
Fundamentals are what you should be practicing most. Everything else works itself out if one uses sound, tried and trued basic fundamentals, just like my daddy taught me.
