00:17.260 --> 00:20.020
The US Army marksmanship unit trains

00:20.020 --> 00:22.219
soldiers across the force . This week

00:22.219 --> 00:24.379
ITG instructors are working with 5th

00:24.379 --> 00:26.340
Special Forces Group , translating

00:26.340 --> 00:28.500
competition marksmanship into fast ,

00:28.639 --> 00:31.340
accurate , combat ready shooting . OK ,

00:31.459 --> 00:33.570
so , uh , this week we're out at Fort

00:33.570 --> 00:35.848
Campbell with some guys from 5th Group .

00:35.848 --> 00:37.626
Um , right now we're working on

00:37.626 --> 00:39.848
refining zeros , uh , so that way we're

00:39.848 --> 00:39.619
set up for success for the rest of the

00:39.619 --> 00:41.730
week . Uh , we're gonna be working on

00:41.730 --> 00:43.897
short range marksmanship , so shooting

00:43.897 --> 00:45.897
fast and accurate , um , from , you

00:45.897 --> 00:48.063
know , 0 to 50 , 0 to 100 , and then ,

00:48.063 --> 00:50.119
uh , in a couple of days we're gonna

00:50.119 --> 00:51.952
push that out , uh , daytime and

00:51.952 --> 00:54.175
nighttime to , uh , as far as the range

00:54.175 --> 00:56.230
allows , I think about 3 or 400 . So

00:56.230 --> 00:58.508
shooting full size and smaller targets ,

00:58.508 --> 01:00.675
um , as fast as we can with daytime or

01:00.675 --> 01:02.730
nighttime with lasers . Beyond speed

01:02.730 --> 01:04.952
and accuracy , this type of training is

01:04.952 --> 01:07.008
about making shooting automatic , so

01:07.008 --> 01:09.230
attention stays on decision making when

01:09.230 --> 01:11.452
it matters most . Increasing your first

01:11.452 --> 01:13.619
round hit percentage , uh , will never

01:13.619 --> 01:15.675
be a downside , right ? Um , I think

01:15.675 --> 01:17.841
that everybody has a limited amount of

01:17.841 --> 01:19.841
mental bandwidth and when presented

01:19.841 --> 01:22.008
with a problem , if you can prioritize

01:22.008 --> 01:23.952
uh . Solving that problem with the

01:23.952 --> 01:26.230
majority of your mental bandwidth , uh ,

01:26.230 --> 01:28.452
and then all of the other tasks kind of

01:28.452 --> 01:30.675
run in the background , you know , so ,

01:30.675 --> 01:32.841
uh , I minimize the browser instead of

01:32.841 --> 01:34.952
closing it so for the same thing if I

01:34.952 --> 01:37.175
can make shooting subconscious , then I

01:37.175 --> 01:39.230
can focus on the task at hand or the

01:39.230 --> 01:38.889
problem or figuring out what I need to

01:38.889 --> 01:40.945
do next without ever having to worry

01:40.945 --> 01:42.889
about how do I align my sights and

01:42.889 --> 01:42.730
press my trigger .
