Seems plausible from my own shooting drill experience. But the targets are a bit bigger than you are probably imagining.
I think rookie privates are starting out at 80 to 150 meters with most of their shots.
The first time you shoot your weapon (at least from an american basic training perspective) is when you learn to zero your weapon. That will be at 25 meter targets. You might shoot more later in the day but usually it takes a full day to get everyone zeroed. The next day is usually qualifying with your rifle. Those targets are 25-300 meters.
Yes exactly, you’re right.
