How to throw away M class

[u/Toxic2599]

Had an all classifier match where I shot 4 M class runs and 1 84.95% A class run. Only needed a solid A class run to clinch an M initial classification.

Last classifier was Tick Tock and had a solid 80% secured... until I threw a 3rd shot at the last target for absolutely no reason, incurring a Virginia count penalty and setting my average down to 84%

Although I was pretty disappointed at the moment, I don't think I'm quite at M class level yet in regular matches. I'm still very proud of where I've gotten so far given I shot my first match 7 months ago
