Indeed. Especially when this common military marksmanship instruction is conducted by personnel with an obvious background in competitive shooting. For those that question this, go observe shooters at a High Power match or similar and then rewatch this demonstration.
It is sad that so few similarly-skilled people are put in instructor positions today.
