Another source on becoming a Rifleman

Here is a link to another source on marksmanship. It basically covers all the fundamentals to firing an accurate shot.

Most of the material seems to come straight from Fred at Fred's M14 Stocks - founder of the Appleseed Project.


Pros:
- Author covers fundamentals of marksmanship (he calls them the 9 steps to firing the shot, so as to distinguish from Fred's "6-steps to firing the shot").
- Author discusses multiple "steady-hold factors."
- Author discusses minutes of angle and related material for how to adjust sights and compensate for distance.
- Author has some good suggestions for AR15's, and for M1A's.
- Author discusses shooting on a slope (this is rare to find).

Cons:
- Author strongly discourages sighting in from a rested position. This is folly.
- Author relies too much on sling use.
