I’m slowly working on the huge post of Things You Probably Didn’t Want to Know About Me, but I thought I’d let you have a rifle-team related update as well.
In short, they did horribly tonight.
As a team we would have had a score of about 492. To win matches we need from 498-500. The new shooters are expected to be shooting in the mid nineties, the 3rd year shooters have no excuses. They do better when I stand there and tell them what to do, “make sure you squeeze the trigger, check your natural point of aim, etc” but once I stop they forget. It’s time for me to be mean coach. I’m going to write up a suggestion sheet and a “test” for them.
The questions will be such: You just shot a 9 at 3:00, what do you have to do to adjust yourself back into the ten ring?
If nothing else, it’ll give me something to do at work tomorrow.
Our first match is next Thursday, I’m excited.
