WWII M1 Garand Training Film.


 I shoot a lot of competitive rifle....and this is a really, really good film!  Get over to Borepatches and watch it!
  Wonderful to see those rifles shot.  Wonder where you could get one of those great hats?  I see them in the old training manuals, but never seen one in the flesh.
  These old training films really bring out the point that these are combat techniques before they were competitive techniques.

Thanks for the link, BF.

I especially liked the dry fire drills, with the coach to throw back the bolt. And the advice to coaches to wrap their hand in a handkerchief before hitting the bolt several hundred times...
