Today's event: National Trophy Team Match. It's the 50 round across the course match, but each team has three relays of two and you shoot the slow fire stages pair firing.

Again, I got an acceptable off hand stage, a good standing to seated rapid fire stages ... And then the curse of the 300 rapid fire struck again. Three months ago in North Carolina, I was hitting 92% at 300. Today.... 65. What's disgusting is that that is the best 300 rapid I've done all week. Even more, I don't know why. I get a good group,

it's just consistently low, even after adjusting elevation five MOA higher than usual. At 600 I have to throw on 3 MOA more, but it works. The 300 thing has me baffled. I wish I had my GoPro with me this trip so I could use the video to see what's going on.

Rub some salt in the wound... I still ended up as the second best on my team today.
