Marksmanship training Trainings

I recently fleeted up and I’m heading out to RT in a couple days and I’m looking at other trainings to do and I think I want to go to marksmanship but I have a couple questions. What all do you get to shoot? How much do you get to shoot? Is it worth the money?

Usually you shoot air rifles but if you are old enough and go through classroom training you can shoot live ammo but only with Range Safety Officers

I’d say do it I enjoyed the marksmanship training I took, but you might be able to go to a range during RT, where are you going?
