I am going to a match on the 13th. Haley and Luke (the new shooters we are helping) are also going to shoot in it. It will be their first match, and they are going to shoot service rifles. It is at Machias so it's a 500 yard match. Yesterday, we went out to the range and we practiced like we were in a match. My dad "ran" it and told them what to do in prep time. First, Luke shot while I scored for him and Haley was in the pits, pulling and marking his target. Then I shot and Luke scored for me, while Haley was in the pits again. After that, Haley shot while I scored for her, and Luke was in the pits. We taught them how to pull targets in the pits, use your prep time, score for your shooter, and how to adjust their rifle.
They did very well yesterday! Haley kept all of her shots in the black (X, 10, 9, & 8). Luke had only 2 out of the black. I think they are going to do very well at the match.
