I am sure most serving soldiers would acknowledge that on average and in a one off comp the seasoned target shooter would have it over the unit trained sniper 9/10 times on a gazetted range, shooting F class or the like.
Military marksmen don't shoot V bulls. They are silhouette or 3 dimensional shooters. 95% of their targets are moving or snap. Any LR targets are/should be well thought out and only taken when there is a high % chance of hit.

Get yourself a head-shaped target, not modeled off yours as that would just be cheating. Thats good R93 good humor bwwhhhaaaaaaaaaaa .Ssdly Im not shooting enough nowadays and would just fall into the lowly sniper ability according to the article


Draw a 100mm dia circle centred, from the tip of the nose.
Fix it to a long pole and get someone to operate it for you from the butts of an NRA range.
Set yourself up at 300. Get the target op to give you 5 x 3 sec exposures in the center of your lane over 5 minutes. Then 5 x 3 sec exposures any height and anywhere in your lane across a 6m frontage over 5 minutes.

This was considered to be a gift serial at the start of a badge shoot. You get 5 points in the circle or cutting the line, 3 points outside but on the target.
Target is to spin and fall when hit. Target is to be snapped into and out of position.
Worth 50 points.
No sighters allowed, just rock up and shoot. Just a wee taste of Military type shooting if you fancy yourself.

I would love to do all that shit -shame we dont have the facilities to do this stuff .
Now after all that back fanatical muslim back whipping and lamenting the original article was what it was -nothing more nothing less -a mans observation of a companies observation about a versus b -- 7pages of interest mmm not bad
