The Army uses 25M targets for qualification. It's not marksmanship! And if you really needed the included political indoctrination, you probably wouldn't be the type to be wasting time at a shooting range. Yes, I know exactly what I'm talking about; I occasionally shoot HP at RWVA's home range. It's always interesting to see who shows up and what their agenda is.

My gun club has a 600 yard range and once a month high-power matches. am thinking of doing those. My club also has a relationship established with the CMP. I own a variant of an AR-15 with a 16 inch barrel and iron sights. Would that gun be ok for the high-power matches?
I understand what you are saying about the political stuff. They went on and on at lunch with some long dragged out story but then kept yelling "quickly, quickly" later in the day
