[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3356541, member: 7900"] Back in January of 1966, my Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood was in a company made up primarily of Reservists and National Guard members. I think there might have been five of us that were Regular Army. When at the range, the cadre tended to try to speed things up. When we were shooting 25 meters to zero, the sergeant looked at the pattern on my target and quickly adjusted the sights on my M-14 and then sent me back. Later in shooting at the range, especially so with pop-up targets, I wasn't hitting good at all. They knew I grew up with rifles, so they were confused. They had one of the sergeants take me back to the 25 meter range and shoot again. Come to find out, when trying to zero, I was missing the target altogether, and the guy next to me was hitting my target instead of his. I had been zeroed based on his shooting. The new trip got me zeroed and I was good to go from there. [/QUOTE]
