My brother shot 47 out of 50 with his rifle during qualifying.  I think he said ranges of 50-250 meters (I'm sure you guys will know what i'm talking about).  How good is this?

Sure it wasn't out of 40?

If it was 37/40 at ranges from 50-300 meters, then it's pretty good.

He would qualify expert with 37/40.

IIRC, they are suppose to qualify with irons. That could have changed though.

I qualified with irons in basic.  After that it was Aimpoints for record qual, and irons non-record(in case the AP goes tits up).  2000-2004.

You can qualify with any optic issued. We have ACOGs and it makes qualifying ridiculously easy.

It's not as good as 40/40.

Edit-  Are you friggin kidding me?  They use optics now!!!  That's cheating!

You kids these days with all your fancy do-hickeys and gadgets.  In my day, we had to earn our Expert badge with good-ole iron sights only, bucking 3 different crosswinds in a blizzard and frost bite on our trigger fingers

Don't forget spiders.

I did irons when I was issued an aimpoint.  I have an acog now, haven't got to shoot with it yet :(

That's the best I've shot so far, with irons.  Company is going to the range the next 2 days and I don't even feel like going.  They couldn't get a pop up range, so its paper at 25 meters, with optics.  Almost as bad as ETS qualifying.

Half the AF's qual is Iron's, the other half is Aimpoint.

The Army gets to qual with ACOG's? Man, the Air Force has it rough...

I have seen several 41/40 due to crossfire, still qualified as an expert.
