Score Plateau: 93 and above.
It’s hard to call 93 a “plateau.” Most shooters would love to be able to say they had plateaued at 93. But the sad truth is, few shooters have the commitment to do what it takes to get here. They never put in the time on their game to practice consistency, and as a result, they never become consistent.
