Hello all. My name is Kyle and I just bought my first ever firearm: a Rock River AR-15. I honestly never thought I'd be a gun owner but I'm going into the Army as an infantryman, hopefully with a Ranger try-out option in my contract. Since I'll be waiting a while to head to Basic Training, I thought I'd purchase an AR to practice with. I'm hoping to be a little bit ahead of the curve when we hit the marksmanship qualification stage.
If anyone here has had military marksmanship training and retained their knowledge, I would love to strike up a relationship and hopefully leach some of that skill/knowledge. I've been told that people can tolerate my company from time to time and I'm willing to throw in a six pack for anyone who might be willing to share their military marksmanship advice with me on the range for a day or a half-day. If this sounds at all interesting to you, send me a PM and maybe we can arrange the teaching for beer trade. I won't promise to check my PMs religiously however, so expect a few days turnaround for me to answer any messages.
Thanks to everyone in the community for providing this resource. I'm a true neophyte to firearms, so it helps to soak up some knowledge.
