Lock & Load
Sep. 17th, 2009 12:42 pmSo I found out last night that I made the varsity rifle team.
WHAT.
Okay, I didn't even bother telling anyone I was trying out, I mainly went just because I haven't had a chance to shoot in forever & thought it would be fun. The first night was prone position using an air rifle, both of which I have NEVER DONE and my final target looked like shit. And then last night was standing position, which I actually did pretty well at - much better than I expected anyway, 24/25 - but I was trying out with ten other freshman guys, half of whom shot competitively in high school, and there were only two spots open. So I figured hey, fun times, see you all around campus.
And then at one a.m. I get an e-mail from the coach saying welcome to the team, we have physicals & our first practice tonight!
asdfkladjfljf I'm really excited but still sort of suspicious because I'm really not that good? But the team is me and nine guys and they all seem amazing, as does the coach. And we have a solid base of four seniors who can carry us for competitions, which takes some of the stress off.
Ahaha I cannot wait to make an idiot out of myself in front of all of them, but I'm still bouncing around smiling like crazy.
WHAT.
