Alvin York is mustered into the U. S. Army and is singled out because of his conscientious objection status for special observation. However his markmenship and devotion to duty gain him high marks with some of his surperiors. He also makes several good friends. From the 1941 Warner Brothers Howard Hanks film about the life of Alvin C York, America's most decorated soldier of WWI. Read more about Alvin C York here: http://www.sgtyork.org/index_legacy.html

Thanks for posting. This is a marvelous movie. I've seen it several times over the years. I'm watching this scene and nit picking. My Grand Paw was at Camp Gordon SGT.QMC) His brother died there in the Spanish Flu epidemic. I'm from Atl. Those are Hollywood hills. Atlanta topograph isn't like that. I thought it was funny. That 1903 Springfield didn't kick hardly enought to really put his thum in the eye. Recoil isn't that realistic, I believe. But hey, great movie anyway.

I read somewhere that Alvin York was so excellent a marksman, that before his conversion to Christianity, he would deliberately practice shooting while drunk and while riding on horseback (!!!), just to make his marksmanship all the more challenging. What a guy.
