Scoring Tips
Scorers may be the most important team members!
Reality Check – know how many shots “should” be on
each bull and total possible points per target
Be consistent!
Same people score all .22 pistol targets, etc.
Two scorers and two adders – double check each other
Group each shooters’ targets together – make sure you
have all targets!
Marked plugged shots with a “P”
Cross-fires handled on range
Initial target once complete
Take your time!
