00:01.511 --> 00:03.295
- Course basically trains soldiers

00:03.295 --> 00:06.128
^to shoot from 600 meters and in,

00:06.206 --> 00:08.295
snipers usually shoot from 800 meters out,

00:08.295 --> 00:09.662
so this kind of picks up the gap

00:09.662 --> 00:12.715
soldiers get training from 300 meters and in,

00:12.715 --> 00:14.225
so this picks up the gap in between,

00:14.225 --> 00:16.601
so they can engage targets from a longer distance

00:16.601 --> 00:18.674
before the snipers can take over.

00:18.674 --> 00:20.293
- Been a real learning experience.

00:20.293 --> 00:22.428
^I mean I was in basic last year and,

00:22.428 --> 00:23.261
^we really didn't do RS
(gunshots)

00:23.261 --> 00:24.094
^that much.

00:24.275 --> 00:26.310
So getting to really work our
(gunshots)

00:26.310 --> 00:27.676
and working on fundamentals,

00:27.676 --> 00:29.093
it teaches a lot.

00:29.181 --> 00:30.571
Going through the different,

00:30.571 --> 00:31.611
like the EBR.

00:31.611 --> 00:33.498
Never hunted EBR before.

00:33.498 --> 00:36.502
Acog I haven't been able to use Acog before so

00:36.502 --> 00:38.950
it's been a real learning experience

00:38.950 --> 00:39.893
I've been enjoying myself.

00:39.893 --> 00:43.902
- It's definitely I think has improved my shooting ability

00:43.902 --> 00:45.701
at least by 70 percent.

00:45.701 --> 00:48.191
^Definitely tough but the instructors gave up,

00:48.191 --> 00:50.539
^great instruction on how to zero weapons,

00:50.539 --> 00:52.850
how to focus on the targets so far away.

00:52.850 --> 00:55.711
They went over that which you know very helpful.

00:55.711 --> 00:57.680
- It's a good feeling when you get here and they

00:57.680 --> 00:59.905
they qualify and they shoot

00:59.905 --> 01:01.028
and you see what their scores are

01:01.028 --> 01:03.678
in the beginning and usually they're a lot higher

01:03.678 --> 01:05.066
at the end so it's a good feeling

01:05.066 --> 01:07.185
that you see that they've learned the skills,

01:07.185 --> 01:10.382
and if they're able to engage targets quicker

01:10.382 --> 01:12.382
and at longer distances.

01:17.587 --> 01:20.170
