[Training Movies] Rifle Marksmanship with the M1 Rifle (1942)

Just downloaded them. The book that goes with the films is excellent! The other two are interesting but not really usefull.
 
That was one good video. Lots of stuff that I never saw in the forces. I just wish I could find a copy of the "Shoot To Live" manual that the Canadian army came out with during WW2. That thing is solid gold! Funny how the forces forgot about the principles of marksmanship over the years.

Besides the Rifle Marksmanship with the M1 Garand Rifle (1942 Training Videos) .... click herehttp://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=1769, in the same MKL entry you'll also find its companion training book titled "How to Shoot the U.S. Army Rifle" and other articles on "Snap Shooting" and pics of the "Sighting Training Device".

One of the best books I've ever read (and trained with) on shooting the Enfield rifle is available in electronic format, professionally scanned (thanks to Ian Robertson), in the forum for Technical Articles for Milsurp Collectors and Re-loaders (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=25

Presenting the Johnson Method of Musketry Coaching As Adopted By the Canadian Army, Ottawa, Chief of the General Staff.

This is an excellent Canadian Government issued training manual. If you are specifically a collector and shooter of Lee Enfield rifles, you'll find this to be an outstanding reference work and it contains a wealth of information on how to properly shoot the No.4 Mk1 Enfield, although much of the content is applicable to any bolt action rifle. I remember being issued this manual as part of our regimental rifle team, when I was a little younger back in the early 60's. ;)

Thanks Badgerdog. Awesome stuff.

I am actually very eager to buy a nice Lee Enfield sometime in September. We have a few historical ones in the family, but none I can call my own. I am just buying a Swiss Arms Classic Green on the EE right now, and also buying a tactical .308 in August.
