I went to the range to day for the first tome since basic training, 3 years ago, and did really poorly. I know it’s my own fault for not doing well but many people are telling me the M16 and M4 are really different to shoot. Contrary to my performance today I’m not a terrible shot.
They didn’t feel too different. The biggest change for me was using iron sites, as in basic we use CCOs. If anything I’d say that was part of my poor performance.
Are they that different? Different enough to go from shooting 32-34 targets with easy to not qualifying.
I know I need to fix it and I will. Also, anyone have any tips?

Biggest difference barrel length and fixed versus collapsible stock. What were you shooting? If M16 what version?

Make sure you zero the iron sites and maintain cheek to stock when aiming.

Make sure you have a good zero first. Then go with the basics. I love shooting them but old eyes like optics and all of mine have something. Also try to stay with the same ammo at first.
