The B.R.A.S.S. system
This shooting system is a relic but it still works.It came about in the one shot,one kill days but was replaced with the spray and pray system.
B breathe and exhale slowly.
R relax,hold the weapon firmly....just enough to keep the recoil from busting your nose.
A aim,align the front and rear sight with the target.The rear sight and the target will be fuzzy.
S stop all breathing,freeze,check alignment.
S squeeze the trigger by taking the slack up ,use the meaty part of your finger.

If the round leaves the barrel without you anticipating it you will see an improvement in your accuracy.

These are the same systems that most snipers and marksmen use. Being a deer hunter, that how I bag em too. Remington 700 7mm Magnum does the trick for me. One shot, one kill... well not aways!

I never depend on a weapon that fires full auto, as they tend to jam more often then weapons that dont. The M-16 is real great for that as we vets already know.

How our armed services has allowed that POS to stay in service for 45 years is beyond me. You cant make a weapons system that was defective by design since inception, better by adding on the various improvements over the years, just added more weight, which was the main selling point when Armalite sold the first ones to the Air Force for base duty.

M-16: To many small parts to break or come loose or get lost, a gas system with no blow back rod, a bolt that has two many lugs to lock and get jammed up with, no direct bolt handle to shove the bolt hard against the breech, and ammo that's only good for 300 to 400 yards in combat situations.

Don't get me wrong. When its clean the M-16 is a very accurate weapon and very easy to shoot, but it was never good enough for rough field combat, IMO, period.

If you ever get a chance to shoot a Sig 550 or an HK-91/93, do it. These are really great weapons we should adopt. The HK tears up the brass, so its a bad choice for reloaders.

Wish I never sold mine cause we cant buy those in CA anymore.

When they gave us the 16 in RVN they said it did not need cleaning so they never had any cleaning gear to give us.The whole M16 deal sucked from day 1.We stashed ours after a few days with them and picked up what we could get that worked.We were a squad by ourself on the perimeter of a village so we could almost do as we wanted.I wouldn't gave 5 bucks for a pup load of the old ones or the new ones.Too many bad memories over them.
