Visible shots and close groups As a general rule only those hits which are visible, will be scored. An exeption will be made in the case where the groupings of 3 or more shots are so close that it is possible for a required shot or shots to have gone through the enlarged hole without leaving a mark and there is no evidence that a shot or shots have gone elsewhere than trough the assigned target.
In such case, the shooter will be given the benefit of the doubt and scored hits for the non-visible shots, on the assumption the apssed trough the enlarged hole.
If such assumption should place a non-visible hit in either two scoring rings, it shall be scored in the higher-valued ring.
All shots count: All shots fired by the competitor after he has taken position at the firing point will be counted in his score, even if accidentally discharged.
How to score: A shot hole, the leaded edge of which which come´s in contact with the outside of a scoring ring will be awarded the higher value (see right). A overlay must be used to determine the value of close shots.
-
Hits on the wrong target are scored as misses
Early or late shots: If any shots are fired at the target before the starting signal or signal to cease firing, the shots of highest value equal to the number fired in error will be scored as misses.
MISSES Shots outside the scoring rings are scored as misses.
