I think we scored one high goal last year. Reality is tough.

Not focusing on shooting at all is a super reasonable thing to do this year; I was just explaining how we were going about shooting if we get enough time to actually implement it. I figured that's what you were asking about, the details of that and not the details of shooting at all.
