I am curious, mainly for the selfish reason to feel more confident in my abilities before going into the armed forces, about how the shooting abilities of soldiers improves from before acceptance, through basic training and beyond? I have been accepted and am awaiting my bmq date. Anyways, currently I can go out and shoot with a 9x scoped hunting rifle off a bipod and hit 3'' bullseyes at 100 yards, and 8x10 sheets of paper out to about 500 yards consistently. How does this compare to others? Should I expect this to greatly improve after training?
