just remember that everything youll find in a rifle marksmanship manual was established by a guy using a long rifle in the 1700s
They teach prone supported back then? Use of sling loop on the left upper arm? Reading mirgage?

I have a lot of respect for someone who could use a flintlock rifle to get a fatal hit on a single enemy at 200-300 yards...... holding that steady through that glacial lock time while the pan powder is blowing up inches from your eye and the bullets are flying is a very impressive feat, and would require extreme skills and icewater in the veins...... but to say that nothing has been learned since ......
