Basic Rifle Marksmanship Shooter's Book

Abstract

Abstract : This book is designed with two purposes in mind. It gives the Initial Entry (IE) soldier a reference to read and study if he has questions concerning any portion of Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) training. Second, each IE soldier has the opportunity to keep track of how well he is doing by use of the performance record section located at the end of the book. By using the performance record, each soldier will have a good picture of his shooting ability. If he begins to have trouble, his sergeant, or other training personnel, can look at this shooter's book in an attempt to analyze and make necessary corrections to this problem. Did the soldier incorrectly change his sights? Is he having trouble hitting distant targets? Questions such as these can be answered if a soldier keeps neat and accurate records. The shooter's book as fielded, is pocket-sized (3-7/8 in. by 5 in.); this research product is a 220% enlargement of the actual shooter's book. Keywords: M16Al rifle; Marksmanship training; Marksmanship conditions; Marksmanship tasks; Training conditions.
