Scoring a Target

[Siditters]

What's the score on this one?

 

[cyclops666]

Depends on the distance the shots were taken from

91-4X based on face value unless scoring zones are different for the distances.

I think this was 15 yards but I was just wondering about the right way to read it. It's just for fun competition with friends and to measure my own progress. So do you close the hole from the back to see exactly where the line is broken or do the tear marks determine a broken line?

 

[Donny Fenn1]

if the shot breaks the line the score goes to the higher value

Right 91 and 4x

Thanks guys. I figured it was 91. It's been 40 years since I was in junior rifle club and scored our targets and I couldn't remember the details.

It is scored by the grease ring, not the tears. In competition we use an "eagle eye" which is a gauge that you center over a hole that will tell you if it officially broke the next line

I make it 91 4x. has to touch the line, no need to break. But, unless you use wadcutters, you need a gauge to see where the edge is.
