10m scoring gauges.

[MrChipShoulder]

Thanks, but that one doesn’t have the big next line rim?
I’m obviously missing something here that I’m not understanding?

Why do some gauges have the big easy to read rim while others don't?

[Rutty]

Don’t bother buying gauges, you only require them if you are an nominated club scorer. The only targets you could use them on would be training targets as you must not gauge or in any way interfere with the shot hole on competition targets. Instead invest in the TargetScan app which will provide all you need for the cost of about one gauge. More importantly, it also forms the basis of a very useful shooting diary.

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

App bought and now on my phone, thanks.

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.

[MrChipShoulder]

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.

Although I’ve now got the app, most of the time it’s a hateful pile of aggro!
It will not read anything in the white, ever! misses shots totally, and puts shots where there are no shots!
It works after a fashion, but only just.

Still, if you can’t stick gauges in your card, what other options are there?

It's not legal for scoring NSRA comps, but won:t interfere with shot holes, so you can give your cards the once over.

What Tim means is they are not legal for an official score to use, but many shooters use them and they are ideal to get an idea of the score on "Klingons" with out interfering with the hole which is naughty! But when it comes down to it only a gauge will give the accurate score.

The other option is only shoot 10.9's!

Retracted_Yeti.... Yes there is an Android version for a tenner on the Google Play Store.
TargetScan works best for me if I shine a light (torch) onto a sheet of white paper behind the target. For ease of use though, I intend to make a little light box.

We use this for Dorset league scoring - if the cards are called in, as has happened, the scorer can use a plug gauge for the final adjudication.
