Now the line can clearly be seen to help accurate scoring


do not count the same shot twice. I then do the same with the 8, 9, 10 and then X ring before totalling up the number of shots that have been accounted for, against the number of shots that are indicated on the score card. If any shots are missing on a target that obviously has a ragged hole in the middle of the target then it is usually fair to say that any “missing” shots will probably be in this scoring zone and score it accordingly. If however you are confronted with a target that has individual holes all over it with no discernable “groups” showing then it would probably be fair to say that any outstanding shots have missed the target and should be recorded as 0’s in the correct column.


although they may well have done, it may not have been while the target was actually facing them, if you know what I mean! Likewise, in the interest of fairness you should always notify your scoring partner if you have had any late shots or rounds that you have not managed to put down range as you simply ran out of time, so that the target can be scored accordingly.


1500 rim fire targets are always individual items whilst the centre fire ones use replaceable centres and it is important that you patch over any shots that fall outside of the scoring rings, whether they are on the target “paper” or backing board, so that all shots can be accounted for at every distance. This is more important when shooting on the 50m stages as it is quite easy to miss the target completely, especially when shooting at the much smaller rim fire targets. Clearly seeing a new “miss” outside of the scoring rings makes it much easier to identify rather than trying to find a “double” that doesn’t actually exist.


You will usually find it easier scoring a target by scoring each scoring ring in turn and recording the hits as you see them on the Competitors Copy side. I always start from the 12 o’clock position of the 7 ring and work my way round clockwise, marking the edge of each hole with my pen so that I
