My result from the first match was 564/600 which is a decent score for me. Before I got back into shooting in 2007 (after my 12 year break) my highest score had only ever been a 566/600. To give some perspective the Olympic minimum qualification score they'll accept is 563 but typical world class scores are in the 580 range with 594 being the current World Record out of a possible 600 points.
My second match went better, started out really strong with a 98 and finished the day with a 567/600 with at least six of my 60 shots being 9.9's. They only count as a 9 but when they show up on my screen they show it in a decimal so you know how close to the next scoring ring you are. 9.9 is as close to 10 as you can get. In the pistol discipline though a 9 with any decimal behind it is still only scored as a 9. Knowing I had soooooo many close shots felt good though. Makes me realize I can still improve a lot more!

Congrats buey! Good shooting. Don't focus so much on shot value (ie. the 9.9s). Your group size is more important. :)
Thanks Edmond. Definitely agree with you. It's partly why I mentioned them, the two strings where they happened I had super solid grouping which felt great. The other 9's from that string were 9.8's so great grouping around the 10.. Next time they'll be 10's! ;)
