Update - Rifle Marksmanship with the M1 Garand Rifle

[BadgerDog]

In "The Screening Room" (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=46, we updated the existing set of wartime U.S. Government produced Garand training videos (over 2 hours).

To the existing entry Rifle Marksmanship with the M1 Garand Rifle (1942 Training Videos and Companion Book), we've added a 1943 official training Film of the U.S. War Department, displaying the principles of operation of the U.S. CAL. .30 M1 Rifle better known throughout WW2 as the “Garand”. Signal Corps ordnance experts demonstrate the intricacy of the firing mechanism behind the most expensive and one of the best rifles of the Second World War.

Video length = 15 minutes

There's some great material in this Knowledge Library entry for collectors who also shoot these old Garand vintage rifles, including a 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".

That was pretty cool.

The marksmanship videos seems to be missing part 1 though, sighting and aiming exercises.

For whatever reason, that specific section was never in the video. Instead, they added it to the companion training book titled "How to Shoot the U.S. Army Rifle", which includes the missing first section on sighting.

They have some excellent points in the videos. I decided that I cannot squeeze the trigger so I will start buying rocks from now on.
