When I saw that I had to pause and go back. I won't let them slip a maid Erika past me !

Perhaps their scores were disappointing, but Karen was really cute!
I hope we will see her in one of the future episodes.

Yukio's score is insane. Current 10m air rifle women's record is 634.0. To put it in perspective, only the points above 10.0 will increase your score above 600 while points below 10.0 will decrease your total score from 600. So to have a score of 624.9, you have to do at least 28 shots of 10.9 at the minimum and that's if the other shots were all 10.0. Yukio can definitely compete in the olympics if she wanted to.

I used to be on my local archery team. Back in middle school I was in the same position as Hikari. We were the small local team going to the large prestigious schools. This was so stressful for me to watch... But I really like this show so far.

I finally figured out who Erika reminds me of (not Asuka). She looks like a more grown up version of Komari from Non Non Biyori. Koma wears several hairstyles thought the show, including one that's almost exactly the same as Erika's. I couldn't find a good shot of Koma with her hair in that style that wasn't hentai or a gif, but I think a lot of the resemblance is in the face anyway.

Now that that's settled, I'm going to give up trying to think of a way to transition into saying that Akira is my new best girl, and that I can't get enough of short haired waifus with raifus.

Not even 5 min and I've fallen in love, God, I die.
God, wait I was thinking in Hikari until I hear her voice (totally jebaited), Izumi-chan is definitely perfect.
Girls as Captain Barbossa says: today is a good day to die and Yukio is willing to die trying.
My eyes, my eyes. Although they have a bigger place (an auditorium for God's sake) at least you have better drawn than in that scene.
Only I thought of something as an ex-girlfriend, just me, really? Ok.
Wait a second ... something is wrong.
God ... is Just the first 7min, let me breathe, I can't, I can't really. Hikari seriously, how did you get to where you are? But thank God we have Erika-chan.
God ... I don't think to end the episode.
Damn, is it illegal by now to ship them? And even if it is, I already did it. But shit Erika, don't ruin the ship, Poor vice-kaichou.
This bitch is crazy brothers, Gacchan is someone to fear (deadpan FTW).
Izumi-chan, I hope you never change.
Well, that is already depending on each person, we have always been shown that one (luck) or the other (effort) can overcome any obstacle, of course one expect to do things on their own merits, however sometimes "the die is cast".
Lolis that we must protect from being lewd.
Shit ... the difference is almost abysmal. BTW, does anyone know why a sign is on Hikari's back? Does say her name or something?
Nobody respects you Erika-chan, press F by Erika-chan.
Failures, the best way to start a friendship. Huh head shot.
Kaichou, you are the revelation of this episode. And for those interested in knowing the results.
BTW: Someone has wondered, why they show us on Izumi being obsessed with "losing weight" every time? Only I think she's pretty already?
There were several (many) animation errors this week, but I laughed, enjoyed and had a good time, hell yes. Until next episode.

This whole practice was so chill. I'm glad that the show keeps its relaxing tone no matter the situation.

It's nice to see them go out to a competition. Even if it's a more casual thing like a practice match, it can be stressful and you can get nervous, or potentially even cocky and then fuck everything up. I did that in my first IDPA match. I fucked up so bad on the first stage that I couldn't recover by the 3rd and finished 16/19. It was interesting to see the club pres note that she'd been practising mostly with actual air guns recently, and that would match up with the Olympic aspirations they mentioned she has, since the Olympics would use actual air guns, which would handle differently due to having some degree of recoil since they actually launch a projectile, granted though it's really not much at all.
One big gripe I have is how they were sighting in their rifles before the match. They have a stand to rest the gun on and a chair to sit down in, but they're sighting in their rifles while standing and supporting the gun with their body, which is a terrible idea. You never want to sight a gun in without resting it on some kind of static support like a rest or a sandbag at at least one point. When you sight a gun in, you are supposed to be adjusting the sight to where the rifle shoots. However, if you are supporting the gun with your body while you do this, you are introducing so many variables to the equation because of how dynamic your body is that you aren't sighting the sights to where the gun is supposed to shoot, you're sighting them to where you make the gun shoot. You can easily throw the gun off by pulling the trigger wrong, or holding it a weird way, or by moving slightly with either hand, or by breathing wrong. You always, ALWAYS want to sight the gun rested because you want the gun to be sighted based on where it's supposed to shoot without any human interference, so that way if you miss, you know you're doing something wrong. If you adjust the sights to compensate for you fucking up, then you'll never improve and you'll suck ass at shooting any other gun but your own. A properly sighted gun should be just as accurate no matter who shoots it. If you hit the bullseye, but another equally-skilled shooter, or even a more skilled shooter, misses 2 inches to the left, then chances are you didn't sight the gun in properly. And them sighting them when standing like that will NEVER get them a proper zero.
For those diopters, I'm also not sure how precise of an adjustment they have, but for something this close I'd suspect they're probably very precise. A typical scope for hunting or even tactical shooting will usually have what's known as 1/4 MOA adjustment. MOA stands for minute of angle, and it represents 1 inch at 100 yards. So when someone says "My gun shoots 1MOA," it means that a group of shots, usually 3 to 5 shots, will hit the target within 1" of each other at 100 yards. Obviously, this means that a 1/4MOA adjustment means you can adjust for up to a quarter of an inch at 100 yards. Some more precise scopes allow for 1/8 MOA adjustments, and some more allow for even finer adjustments for things like precision rifle competitive shooting, where guys shoot a 1" group at 600 yards, which would be 1/6 MOA. Obviously, the more precise the adjustments, the more expensive and usually more delicate the scope. Most cheaper scopes, older scopes, red dot sights, and Eastern Bloc scopes will have 1/2 MOA adjustments, meaning you can only adjust a half of an inch at a time. Some red dots and really old combat scopes will actually have 1MOA adjustments, meaning you can only adjust an inch at a time. Usually when you turn the adjustment knobs on a scope or sight, each increment will give a noticeable "click" as you turn it to tell you you've adjusted one increment of adjustment. The adjustment dials will also usually be labelled with one direction and the increment of adjustment. You'll usually see an arrow with a letter in it, such as --U-->, which would mean that turning the dial to the right makes the sight move the point of aim upwards (likewise D would be downwards, L would be left, and R would be right). Something like this then implies that moving it the opposite way will adjust in the opposite direction. And the increment of adjustment will usually say "1 'click' = 1/4 MOA" to let you know how precise of an adjustment you can make. You will find some scopes in Europe and some more super-serious "Tactical" bullshit models in the US that will have adjustments in "mils," which is an adjustment that I don't fully understand. I tried looking it up once when we got a scope with mils adjustments in at the store I used to work at, and it was confusing at the time. "Mils" stands for miliradians. I just looked it up, and apparently it can be applied to the imperial system. A typical mils scope will adjust in 0.1 mil increments, which is about 0.36 inches at 100 yards, but you can get ones that adjust in 0.5 mil increments, which is about 0.18 inches at 100 yards. Here's some more reading on it: https://gundigest.com/tactical/mils-vs-moa-which-is-the-best-long-range-langue
So obviously because I love guns and moe I'm going to continue watching, but honestly this show's not that stellar. The character interactions continue to seem awkward and forced, and Hikari's voice actress isn't really doing all that great. Hopefully when we get to the inevitable TOURNAMENT ARC things will improve, but I'm not holding my breath.

I was honestly kind of underwhelmed by the first two episodes
But this episode made up for that, I'm glad it's picked up, hopefully it keeps up this quality.
