My God, why are you guys so caught up on canting a rifle. You have to cant the damn thing if you are wearing body armor. The EST guys here shit when you cant a rifle, even if you are smoking every target dead center. Typical of the Army -- instead of encouraging someone to continue to be a proven success, focus on something that is of no value and will probably cause a degradation of performance.
If you want to interest cadets, give them a reward after shooting some courses of fire with the EST. Let them shoot the Factory scenario.
Oh yes, about the maximum amount of time which you will get any performance from someone on the EST when running the marksmanship traininig programs will be about 30 minutes. Then let them run a tactical scenario and have an AAR before getting back into marksmanship. This way you can probably do up to four iterations with someone in a day (about four hours of training) before they are burned out. It works.
