I have fired only a few guns in my life, so I'm not entirely sure how good I am with guns. What's it take to become an Expert Marksman? Any tips/exercises I can do to work on field craft aswell as marksmanship?
Would this work: Go get a broom stick/metal bar, make an amatuer Ghilli suit, and lay in my yard obeserving what ever there is to observe?
I dont own any real weapons, but would shooting a beebee gun/pelet gun repeatedly at targets improve my marksmenship (im not in any way trying to compare the Marine Corps arsonal to that of a beebee gun or broom stick). I just want to improve anything I can while I wait for the day I join the Marine Corps.
Thank you once again for taking the time to read my post,
