Frustration

So, this evening I went to the range. The main reason was the USRA competition I'm shooting (.22 National Match course), but I had plenty of time, so I first shot my usual light rifle practice. Not horrible, a 364, but I looked at the targets later at home, and something hit me.

I shot a number of 7's and 8's. I also shot a bunch of 10's to bring my score up to that 364. But I counted up the points I lost on those 7's and 8's, assuming I'd shot them as 9's instead. I lost 14 points by that calculation. So if all those had been 9's, I'd have shot a 378. That skips right past expert and lands solidly in master (376 for off-hand light rifle.)

So all I have to do now is eliminate those 7's and 8's.
