10m scoring gauges.

The air rifle gauges DO have a rim but only small. The same one serves 6yd and 10m because the rings are the same spacing.
The .177 gauge does not have a rim and is for outer ring flyers.
I am a club scorer and the four NSRA gauges are essential because different power weapons and variable cards give varying hole sizes.

Generally you should not gauge your own cards if they are postal cards to be sent off as already stated. When any shot is gauged you must write next to it G+ or G- depending on how the decision went.
Targetscan is good on iPhone not so good on android. Also with 5 spot rifle cards you need to scan each shot where pistol will scan up to 10 shots, so PIA for rifle.

PS the “set of 4” is
Air rifle
10m pistol
6yd pistol
.177 plain

Hi Derek.
My solution for scoring postal cards is simple.I just stripped down the old type plug gauge and use the magnifying part to overlay on the target.
The little hole where the actual gauge was fitted is just right for centering on the centre dot.

Personally, I think the postal comps should have all the declared top 10% of shot targets returned to be officially scored for the final official score before the results are published. We can all do our best to score honestly, but I'd sleep better at night if I could 'unload' the scoring responsibility onto somebody else

Obviously the entrant would cover the cost of targets returned, but that should all be part of a 'Postal Comp'.

The Dorset league is club based and the scores are submitted by club officials.

Cards are called in rarely, usually when a division has a really close finish.

I'm sending you an email with a copy of one set of results so you can appreciate the scale of the competition re. sending in 10% of each round.

We do have to trust people; our club has at least 2 members involved in scoring and checking cards are signed, dated and witnessed.

That's the problem with posts on threads and emails for discussions of a technical nature it all tends to get a bit out of context sometimes....

Hopefully, my explanation helped a little.
