[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1648027, member: 4235"] ronny, we mostly shoot the 25m version of the AQT with reduced-size silhouettes simulating targets at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yards. Then if we have full distance facilities, we will shoot it on full size "D" targets at actual distance on the second day. The actual qualification course we use only goes out to 400, but we shoot on out to whatever distance we have available; though it is just for practice and fun, not qualification. I understand that back in the day they would often make the soldiers qualify as far out as the range would allow though. Yeah, we shoot it all from field positions, using only a sling for support. Stage 1 is 100 yards standing; Stage 2 is 200 yards transitioning to seated with a forced reload; Stage 3 is 300 yards transitioning to prone with a forced reload; Stage 4 is 400 yards prone.
