High School Rifle Team

[Aragorn243]

Tonight was one of those matches I felt like tearing my hair out. We are up against one of the league bottom dwellers and going in knowing it should be an easy win. This generally should allow them to relax and have fun and shoot well. But the opposite happened. The first relay shot three 99's when in practice last night they shot three 100's and in the previous match two 100's and one 99. Disappointing but not a disaster. Second relay has three shooters that all missed their first shot and then went from bad to worse very quickly. A 95 and two 93's. A 97 is bad for any of these three. None of these scores will or should make the top 5. Third relay rallies and I get a 100, 97, and a 96 out of my freshman so they made it an easy win 494 to 487 but that second relay remains very disturbing. We go into the holiday break undefeated and have two weeks to figure out the mental side of all of this.

Curious what % would you say is mental. I have an friend who shoots bench rest @ 600 yds. and am going to ask him as well.
