204-1x out of 300.
[hangs head in shame]
That's 68%, whereas my last two matches have been 80%.
I think I got bit by a lack of environmental knowledge. We went directly from standing to rapid prone with no sighters. I was shooting low, by about 3-4 MOA. Part-way through my rapid prone my spotter team-mate told me I was hitting low. I adjusted hold from 6-o'clock on target to center of target for 3MOA increase. That moved me from the 5/6 ring area to the 7 ring. I dropped off-target with 1 shot, scoring 1 miss. Part way through that string the sun peaked out. "Lights up, sights up!" When the light gets significantly brighter, you tend to drop your shots 2 MOA on target. So, my 3MOA sight hold adjustment got mostly negated by the increase in light.
So, I now know I lose about 3-4 MOA when going from standing to prone.
And I'll remember to compensate for increased light (or a decrease in light by dropping my sights 2MOA when the sun is obscured by a cloud).
Not happy with that score. But, there's always next year.
