I am in the process of reading a very interesting book called "The Marine from Manatee, A Tradition of Rifle Marksmanship". It is the story of Col William Harllee whos live work was to build rifle ranges and teach rifle marksmanship to the military and civilians around the time of WWI. His dream was to return America to a nation of Rifleman (Sound familar) This book was put out by the NRA in the 80s and can still be found on ebay and used book sights for around $20. I highly recomend it!
Then tell your experience after completing the book. So that i can also read it.
