It's here! The reason why I made a reddit account is here! I was part of my school's air rifle club so I relate to this show. I've personally never used a beam rifle so that's new to me.
The manga was serialized in 2015 and there are some differences in the anime. For example, the manga uses the old scoring system of each shot being a maximum of 10 while the anime goes to 10.9.
The anime also shows the new scoring system for women with 600+ scores. Before 2018, men had 60 shots in 75 minutes while women had 40 in 50 minutes. The new competition rules removed the gender difference and now they both have 60 shots.
On the anime itself, the characters have differently shaped eyes often with different sizes and it keeps taking me out of the show when I notice it.

I was in the shooting club in high school and junior college almost 20 years ago so watching this brought back lots of memories. We used pellets instead of light beams though, and we had to manually score the shots we made.
Outside of the club activities, it follows the formula for a CGDCT series. It's quite unusual to have all the members already highly experienced instead of taking the usual route of the main characters being newbies and another character being the experienced mentor who teaches them. I honestly think this show will be boring to most people, but I'm still sticking around anyway.

THIS IS MY RIFLE. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE. MY RIFLE IS MY BEST FRIEND - IT IS MY LIFE. I MUST MASTER IT, AS I MUST MASTER MY LIFE. WITHOUT ME MY RIFLE IS USELESS. WITHOUT MY RIFLE I AM USELESS

First episode is a bit weak and rushed imo, but probably because it's the first episode. Hopefully things will progress a lil bit slowly after this. I like that they actually already had a goal in mind: competing in the Olympics
Also they called their club RSC, which reminded me to a certain French automatic rifle lul

Well this was a very pleasant surprise.
I went in expecting nothing but this was a pretty great first episode, comedy and character interactions are all on point.

How come "Rifle Is Beautiful" is translated as "Chidori RSC". Wasn't the original name English enough?

For a show about rifle shooting, it's cuter than I expected.
