Looking at the
targets from the 200 yard line.
|
The early, unstaffed
target pits. I was on Relay 3, which meant we
started the day in the pits. Not bad when it
is that early in the morning. High

Setting up at
the 200 yard line. My shooting partner, Mark
Conrad, is wearing the plaid shirt in the left
foreground. Mark is a Marine from Chicago. He
gave me great advice and advocated a correction
in one of my scores. Mark won the Master class
division.

two photos of me. Great guy.

Scoring the final aggregate
score.
As a Sharpshooter, I average
an aggregate Over-The-Course (OTC) score of
inside of the 8-ring, and technically inside
of an imaginary 8.4-ring.
|
See the final
aggregate scores here, for all divisions
in the match. Note how bad my nice
score gets totally spanked by the Master and
High Master top level shooters!
I shot a 715 - 9X out of
a perfect score of 800 and am now classified
as Sharpshooter. Below are the levels to reach
of a perfect 100% bullseye score percentage
to Classify at each level. I'll keep trying
to get higher.
| High Master |
97 to 100% |
| Master |
94 to 96.99% |
| Expert |
89 to 93.99% |
| Sharpshooter |
84 to 88.99% |
| Marksman |
zero to 83.99% |
