Another great producer of tight-holding birds is the "hesitation" type of ad vance. It can be combined with the zig-zag pattern menti oned above.

But the moment a hunter stops they become uneasy; they think they've been seen, or otherwise detected. Their nerve br eaks an d out they cla tter.

HOOTI NG THE U.S. ARMY RIF~E has been. a subject of .imp ort an ~ , e to.; \ery S man for a good man y years. Firearms writers ha ve said much for,' and "against," rifle marksmanship in the United States Army. There were those who ad vocated the elimination of rifle marksmanship training as such, and would teach our soldiers how to put out a volume of mass ed fire, regardless of whether they hit an ything or not. However, some bitter lessons were learned in Korea again st a By Mj SGT JOH N D. MA RTIN massed and fanatical enem y ; lessons which proved the concept that, for th e Army to win battles with a minimum cost in lives and equipment, its infantrymen must know how to shoot the service rifle, and hit wha t they shoot at. Further, the dough• boy must be trained to exer cise good judgment in detection, selection and engage• ment of battlefield targets. He must be willing and confident in his ability to fire his rifle, and realize the full measure of combat success as a result. Today, the Ln ited Sta tes Army is definitely on the comeback trail as far as rifle marksmanshin is concern ed. Much enlightening nrozress has been made. based 3.

As can be seen, the nit's Mission justifies its existence in the United States Arm y in that it vividly asserts in wha t manner the cause of marksmanship is to be furthered by its activities. In order to understand exactly how the AMU is set up to accomplish its mission, it might be well to explain its organization. Basically, the uni t consists of three ma in groups. Unit Headquarters contains Adm inistration, Sup• ply, and Main tenance. The Rifle Group is composed of : U.S. Arm y Rifle Team and the Army Intern ational Rifle Team. The Pistol Gro up includes the U.S. Army Pistol Team, and the Army Intern ational Pistol Team. The Unit Headqu arters might be referred to as the ner ve center of the Unit.

Com• manders at all levels ha ve been and are continually being instru cted to emphasize and encour age marksmanship. In 1953, the U. S. Army Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, instituted and now conducts a special course known as " Rifle Marksmanship Instructi on." Its aim is to train well qual ified instructors for service throughout the Army. L nder the guidance of General Wyma n, commanding Con• tinental Army Comm and (USCO ARC) at Fort Monr oe, Vir ginia, an effective program of competitive marksman • '~~ff qaalhf€d' lirs l'fii: ct o~ s ·fb-d ·erVicemr5iign oi.ln ne·'1ffmy. L nder the guida nce of General Wyman, commanding Con• tinental Army Command (USCONARC) at Fort Monroe, Virginia, an effective prog ram of competitive marksman• ship has been instituted which extends from the lowest to the highest levels throughout the entire United States Army. This program pr ovides for smallbore ri fle and pistol com• petitions as well as for .30 cal. rifle shoo ting with the accent on the Service Rifle. Also under way at Fo rt Bennin g are Projects "Trainfire" and "Autofire" which are developin g ma rksmanship train ing systems designed to be more real• istic and effective with modern weap ons. One of the most significant steps the Ar my has taken to enhance its ma rksma nship program was the activati on of a novel training unit in 1956. Known as the United States Army Advanced Mar ksmanship Unit (USA AM ) , it is stationed at Fort Bennin g, Georgia. The Unit's Com• ma nding Offi cer, Col. Edward R. Maso n, is a dedicated shooting enthusiast. AM is under the operational control of the Infantr y Center, but unit personnel wear the circular red, white and blue shoulder pa tch which identifi es their organization as a USCONARC unit. The AM - is unique. The concep ts and principles upon which it was found ed, encompass all of the facets of rifl e and pistol ma rksmanship. In essence, it is the Army Ri fl e and Pistol Teams cadre, and is the home of selected office rs and men who possess outsta nding abilities as marksmen, coaches, armorers and instru ctors. In order for it to develop better Army marksma nship , the AMU is organized to accomplish the following missions: 1.

OMPETI TI VE RI FLEME at the top seldom, if ever, use unmodified factory• C issued equipment. They use custom -made or modified factory rifles. The guns which started out as fac tory-built match rifles ar e fr equentl y rebuilt to the extent that only the receiver and bolt remain of the orig inal parts. It is not surprisi ng that the beginning shoo ter contemplating entry into the competitive rifle sport should ask "Who makes the best barrel ?" and "Who makes the best stock?" Yet the tru th is, you don't need a custom-ma de rifle to get into competitive shooting and do well at it. Training and experience come first. The inexperi enced shoo ter will do well to buy factory-issued equipment. Rarely can he take advan tage of custom aids un til he has had considerable expe rience, because he does not at first really know what he needs in the custom line. For example, a beginn er, no ma tter how skillful he may be in lines of shoo ting other than ma tch rifle work, cannot determin e the most adva ntage ous stock and barrel dimensions for his personal use without having done considerable shoo ting. Fur ther• more, it would be a shame to "s hoo t out" an exception ally accura te custom barrel while the novice is prog ressing through the lower classes. ------Position champ Art Cook fired to 1957 win at Perry using M40-X .22 with custom cheek rest , ba rrel bedder.

HE SELF-COl TAlN ED METALLIC CARTRIDGE today is obsolete-at least T in theory. Ideas on the drawing board today will, in the next few years, place in the hands of the sport sman and the soldier firearms which do not use the famili ar br ass cartridge case. The metallic cartridge, a century ago considered the greatest single step in the evolution of firearms, is on the way out. Case-less cartridges, which do not leave a metal shell in the gun to be remov ed mechan ically will ma ke possible firearm s design approac hing the ideal in many ways. The brass cartridge's size and shape place severe limitati ons on the size, weight, shape, and mag azine capacity of the weapon shooting it. Removal of these limita• tions by introducing radically new forms of ammunition would open up new vistas of firearm s design. £"" • • 1 _ ~ ..L _u a. u _ .. u _ _ . _ l' _ ~ _..1 ..._ l L_ D _ ~ ...L _ ....:. ~ .l.L ~ r ':.. ~ 1 Civil War caseless cartridges used in muzzle- and early breech-loaders did not seal chamber; guns often had weird mechanisms to do this.
