This is me, Officer Phillips. I am shooting an M-16 with someone from the AMU (Army Marksmanship Unit) instructing me. This picture is from Challenge Basic '08.
Stephen, The range to which we were shooting was 300 yards. The targets at that distance are called IRON MAIDENS they are human outlines made out of steel. And yes the range INCREDIBLE. Also, the M-16 for being a .223 or in millimeters a 5.56mil has almost NO kick but still reach out to 300 yards and be accurate with Iron Sights.
Challenge is not your average leadership camp.
We strive to draw young men closer to God. By drawing analogies from Scripture to the training of the US Military.

Wow, do the bullets puncture the Iron Maidens or just dent or deflect?
