I’ve been trying to tighten up my groups both horizontally and vertically. It would be better for this comp to focus only on vertical precision, but if I can get it tight enough, eventually it will start landing more hits, and then I hope to start knocking them down in a controlled order… it’s pretty ambitious, but that’s my goal.

This is my goal as well. Not to minimize Mersa or Channing's accomplishment, I still haven't done better than 4 in the current format, but I won't be satisified until I can do them sequentially. (and 4 might have been a fluke, so really, 3 is my best and not even on camera, so does it count? I would say no )

It’s definitely a cool challenge and the bar is significantly higher than I expected.

I really need to give this one another go at some point. Love that bounce back and catch in the bloopers. It would have been killer to get a hit right after. No doubt you've had the same thought.

So mad I missed that followup by an inch! I can't even begin to count the number of edge hits like that(although no others that came right back to me), which I guess is a good thing? But really frustrating while you're trying to hit the cans that are less than half an inch up

This was the best I could do today.

We've discussed this before, but I'm not sure I like the format for this. Because this was the best I did by the rules of the challenge, and yet I hit NONE of the cans I was aiming at.

In several other rounds I had 3 hits at cans I was aiming at. Oh well, I guess that's what makes it different.
