Haven't you heard the story of the young bull that told the old bull, let's run down there and "Get" a couple of those heffers. The old bull said, "Why don't we walk down and get them all? :s0023: (83 and still counting) ;)

I entered the US Army in 1969, we trained on the M14 Rifle at that time. I can't recall, and may not have known at the time, the distance to the random pop-up targets on the qualification course. Some were far, some were not so far. BUT: They weren't bullseye paper targets, they were automatically resetting targets about the size of a human upper torso. They were about the size of the rectangular steel sheet shown in the OP's video. A strike on it anywhere counted as a scoring hit. Including shots that fell short and sprayed dirt on the target that would cause it to fall and reset. Of course our rifles had open sights. These days, I would be very hard pressed to see much less hit a target at 600 yards; I might manage it with a scope. As a practical matter, my use of firearms these days would be at relatively short ranges. You just can't get long shots where I live.
