The organization of the British Army during the American Revolution

If I may suggest,

A couple of things found here in the article, which I often hear in "the strikes";

• there was no aim command in the British manual of arms
• the British army carried a man's weight in shot to hit him

According to an article in the American Rifleman, a quick analysis of the battle of Lexington/ Concord and the battle of Bunker Hill suggests that the militia were 17 times more likely to hit than a typical European regular.

When marksmanship met history liberty was born. That's not just a slogan; and if true, isn't the maintenance of marksmanship required for the maintenance of liberty?

Thank you for your time,
