You mighT Think There's noThing hard in shooTing a riTle, buT The hours oT pracTice ThaT The Rifle Team has spenT in The Gallery cerTainly show ThaT iT Takes a loT oT eTTorT To achieve excellence. During The winTer The members oT The RiTle Team pracTiced aTTer school was ouT, buT whaT did iT maTTer if iT were dark when They goT home? They made records ThaT are worTh more Than a Tew aTTernoons spenT in The Gallery. On SaTurday mornings, when They were To Tire maTches, They were ouT aT school as early as six o'clock some- Times. They yawned and shivered a liTTle, naTurally- who wouldn'T-buT when They goT down To The serious business oT The day, They chalked up scores ThaT are really worTh looking up To. This business oT riTle shooTing mighT seem raTher uninTeresTing To an ouTsider-does iT sound like Tun To lie Tor hours aT a Time on a hard Table wiTh noThing ..Pop buT a Thin, lumpy maTTress under you, squinTing along a riTle barrel aT a liTTle black spoT on a piece oT paper TiTTy TeeT away? No? Well, you oughT To Try iT some Timel The TirsT Tew Times The sling is so TighT ThaT your arm aches Tor a long Time aTTerwards, and iT seems impossible To keep The riTle aimed aT The TargeTg buT when you've made a high score once or Twice, iT's in your blood, and There's noThing ThaT can sTop you. The RiTle Team made a Tine showing This year- They made TiTTh place in The l'learsT MaTch, when There were TiTTy schools compeTing, and in Their reg- ular schedule oT maTches They sTarTed ouT by winning seven and losing only Three.
