I've gone over the manual, FM, online resources, and have done all the stages myself. I want to learn the "practical' stuff I need to anticipate, especially any advices in training young, inexperienced folks to be proficient in marksmanship. You can PM me, too. Background: I'm given 2 months to become an expert on the system. The goal is to train future 2nd Lt, DI, MP, armor officer etc. to become proficient in BRM, and be able to train others. In essence, to train the trainer. Training will also utilize service rifle with .22 upper, and for those who're squared away, high power matches. If you need further info/credentials, I'll send you via PM.

The best thing you can do is to learn how to work every single program it offers. If you know how to set it up and get it running, start working the programs so you will be confident when you get ten people on your firing line at one time. Also, learn how to program the system so you can make up your own courses of fire. For now, there is no need for you to learn how to program the the tactical scenarios. Once you are super confident you can run the types of basic marksmanship programs you want and you have learned all of the feedback capabilities of an EST, then learn how to create your own tactical scenarios.
Good luck with the .22 uppers. I take it you have magazines that work with them? And that they work? He, he, he.
