We will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence. - Vince Lombardi
A 10.9 in our sport is the mark of perfection, proof positive that excellence has been achieved. That's the goal if you're shooting over a half a football field away and aiming at a target measuring no more than the width of a dime or whether you're standing 33 feet away trying to punch pellets into a bullseye no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. Excellence is a virtue of your USA Shooting Team and next Thursday, 10.9 (October 9), we'd like to encourage our community to aim for excellence in all the shots you take in life.
Help us spread the word about 10.9 Day! To celebrate the excellence in our sport, we are asking our community to stand beside us next Thursday and make people in your social circles aware of this day honoring the USA Shooting Team. Use hashtag #ten9day on ALL of your social media posts this week. If you post anything about great shooting, please add the #ten9day hashtag. For more info, check out our 10.9 webpage at www.usashooting.org/ten9day.
