Ft. Hood Squad Designated Marksman training Day 1 - Day one of Squad Designated Marksman training at Ft. Hood began as expected.

Hood's a big place. I drove 300 miles yesterday from my home for the training.

Ft. Hood Squad Designated Marksman training Day 2 - Day two of the Ft. Hood Squad Designated Marksman training began with the soldiers being divided into two relays. One headed to the pits to pull targets and the other took up standing positions at the 100 yard line. Target shooting type standing positions were demonstrated before firing began and the students were encouraged to experiment with stances, holds and use of the hasty sling that had been covered in the classroom. Relay one began by firing single shots at the silhouette targets in the target carriers. After each shot the targets were pulled down and the hole in the target was marked with a spotting disc and raised back up for the location of the hit to be observed at the firing line and the next shot to be fired.
