The army guys I knew said the zero for an M14 was 200, my bad. (I

I kind of recall zeroing our M-14s at 25 yards which was also supposed
to be zero at 150 or 200, don't remember which. Mine was incredibly
accurate out to 300.

Basic we shot carbines at I think 50yards. Maybe a 100. Yearly
qualification was either 38 cal pistols at the local police range or m16 at
100yards at Hamilton AFB.

The only real qualification we did was with an M1, at 200 as I recall
but it was just a one week thing.
I did shoot .45s with my chief on the first ship I was on but it was
very unofficial. I did learn a lot tho. He was on the marksmanship
team for a while.



Our training was 2 days. One, indoor as was raining, dry fire and
instruction. 2 nd day range. That was in 6 weeks basic.
