Two to three weeks prior to Induction Day, some USNA Appointees from Oklahoma
are given firearms instruction by certified rifle and pistol coaches at a gun
range located on the John Zink Ranch. The coaches volunteer their
time to appointees who sign-up for the training sessions. This
offer is extended to appointees of USNA, USCGA and USMMA provided their is space
available. Since most appointees have never shot a firearm, the
coaching focuses on the shooting fundamentals.
During live fire, the B 27 silhouette target is used. The SR21 rifle
target is shot at 100 yards.
