500 yards.
Shit, I couldn't even see the silhouette from 500 years let alone hit it.
We only shot from 100 yards in Air Farce basic.
And we used the M-16 which I'm sure is a lot easier to shoot than that heavy .308 that the M-14 uses.
I got 58 out of 60 in the silhouette which was second best in our flight of 50 dudes. One guy who was some kind of Junior NRA expert got all 60. But there was no designation that came with your score. You either qualified, or you didn't. All you needed to qualify was 48.
There were actually about a half a dozen dudes that couldn't even do that. That's how pathetic the Air Farce is.
