   I used to knock down the targets out to 400 meters in basic using the `low-   
   middle-high' aiming system with open sights. From a rest position it was   
   easy for me. The weapon was an M-14 with a 20 round magazine. In a prone   
   rest position they were great rifles. A scope is almost too much at 20 yards.   
   I haven't fired a heavy caliber rifle in many years. The last one I owned was   
   an 8mm Mauser. A .22 rifle could probably do a head shot at around 150 or    
   200 yards, though.
