300 meters is standard, even for basic training. Marines have 500 meter targets

oh and befor the M16A2 came out This used to happen Quite often ,
In the right pic the top rifle was what i trained on in boot the A1 , the second is the A2 , notice the brass deflector at the ejection port , MUCH beterer weapon IMHO , better stock , sights , barrel , etc,,,

I've had the hot brass from another shooter before. Never fun. We switched from M16A2 to M4 carbines in 2004. The M16 is far more accurate. The M4 is compact and used for close combat. The CCO is simply a red dot aiming device for quick shots. If you can get issued an ACOG, you are top dawg

I heard a new company is planning to build a modern version of the Goose. Their market will be Cannada and Alaska. I think it is great to see old warbirds still being used

I guess the bottom was a little to soft for it, needs bigger tires.

Pilot was pretty damn smooth on the approach as well. I'm assuming the Goose can handle heavier seas than a typical float plane?
