Many basic aspects of rifle marksmanship are a completely mystery to new gun owners and often long time owners. While not all the information in FM 3.22-9 is applicable to civilians, there’s a lot that’s worthwhile. If nothing else, read the sections about Trajectory (exterior ballistics) and Zeroing Procedures. People who have only worked with handguns and not rifles probably don’t have any notion of how important those things are when shooting a rifle. The truth is that many soldiers and veterans don’t understand them either.
There are a bewildering array of handguns and techniques out there. A decent reference is:

They are not FREE! OR, am I missing some instructions?
When I go to the page for downloads I am charged $7.99.
Sorry, the Kindle books are FREE, mine are not. I should have made that more clear so I’ve edited the post.
No worries.
Thanks for the clarification.
I appreciate your commentary and entire body of work. Thank you for sharing your experiences and perspective over all these years.
Thanks again.
