As an ex RAF Techie, I was just pointing out with my training, 1 day on a 25m range every 6 months, it was difficult to learn the know how to be able to hit a target consistently at 300m with the SLR.
Its only because I was an Armourer that I had the chance to shoot at 300m, not many non RAF Regt got the opportunity to learn how to shoot at proper distances. Its all down to how many rounds you have the chance to put down range.
More recently I have been able to fire at ranges of upto 1Km and can hit targets that I would have only "suppressed" in my youth.
Now 19 out of 20 rounds on a truck size target with a SCAR H at 900m, with a 4x ACOG sight.
Then 6 rounds out of 20 on 2 man size (fig 11) targets with an L1A1 at 300m, through iron sights.
It shows what a little training can do.
