I guess with rifle ranges no longer in use there are no more poor 'cruits running around in the pits looking for 20 yards of firing line.

Ready on the left, ready on the right, ready on the firing line...lock and load eight rounds of Ball ammunition. Some things just never leave your memory. smile
