i have a friend who graduated2 years agoand is the army. he is stationed in iraq and we are still able to talk pretty regularly. he and i have talked alot about this topic. the military pays a boat load of money to teach every soldier to shoot. why? cuz practice always pays in the end. while in basic out of the 7 day week they were live firing 5 of those days. now does that tell you something. lets see the United States Of AMERICA'S armed forces find practice shooting beneficial.
