You have some examples of what you and the other southern gold ol boys were doing improperly?

I mean everyone was starting from zero. The people who had a "know it all" mindset were quickly humbled by their results. There's a huge difference between hunting big game with a bolt-action rifle/high powered scope (point, aim, shoot) and real-world training with a m-16/m-4 with an RCO. High-pressure, time constraints, long distances, various positions, reload/malfunction drills, moving targets, wind calls, you're moving, night ranges w/ nvgs. I've spent months of my life training with different weapons systems, and I still consider myself a novice. And there are plenty of civilians that are way more proficient than I am, BUT there are also tons of gun nerds that have a whole fckn armory at their house like they're prepping for the apocalypse and many of those assholes are amateurs who would likely flag you in a real world scenario. I absolutely do not want to limit the 2nd amendment but I also think everyone who uses firearms, should get some kind of basic training. That doesn't mean I trust the gov't to facilitate this.
