[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1647454, member: 8853"] henschman, is the AQT you're referring to the one over terrain with man-size pop-ups ranging from 25 yds out to about 650 yds, shooting from various positions (no bench)? It was a long time ago, but if memory serves me, that was about the specs of the range I qualified on at Leonard Wood back in the very early 60's. Those longest range pop-ups were sneaky devils and you had to be alert, quick and a pretty good shot to bring one down before he ducked. And, it was with good old M1 irons, still among the very best open sights. Not just everyone made the Expert grade. I remember being nervous as hell when it came my turn. The first target was 25 yds right in front of me and I didn't even see it till it started down. I missed. After that, I settled down and it was ducks in a shooting gallery. Most fun I'd ever had with a rifle. Man, I wish I had that rifle now. It was an International Harverster. It's only in recent years that the serial number finally left me. Ah, the memories! [/QUOTE]
