If you are counting from the centre out the ten is the white dot the nine is the next black section which the pellet will enter every time due to its size therefore it will score a nine not a ten.

I see your take on it.but as long as you don't hit the 9 line you will have as close to a perfect shot as humanely possible.I have done it a few times at 10m,but I always say its better to be lucky than good.

You can not avoid the nine line,are we talking about the same targets? the one i have in front of me is the NSRA air7 6 yard target.

If you do not touch or break the dividing line then it is a 10 - no problem

If you break the next WHITE line is scores an eight if you are scorned DOWN.

Hi Buzz,

Hi Buzz,

The previous postings already cover the situation clearly enough for it to be workable and understandable.

I will copy those that are the more clear and decisive for you and repeat them here again:-


#1. Here is a clear cut example.

A perfect score of 50 can only be achieved if every shot is dead central and exactly in the middle of the 10 ring - but if any part of any hole even touches (or cuts) the dividing ring between the 9 and the bull then it will become a 9 and not a 10.

This same method applies to all of the scoring rings, so basically if any scoring ring is touched or cut then it must be scored DOWN to the next lower ring score.

This is very important - especially when shooting a match rifle at 6 yards to avoid any unrealistically high scores.

You can keep on repeating it but it does not make it right,take one of the targets and place a pellet dead centre of one of the targets look directly down on that target at least 75% of that pellet is sat in the nine ring,how can that be a ten if most of the pellet is in the nine ring,if you touch the next white line then you score eight,
Lets look at it another way,how do you score a nine?

what a web we weave ,my understanding based on the above is that where the greater area of the hole lies is the position scored [for rifle] where as
the pistol is given the score where its outer edge lies or breaks a score line on the edge nearest the bull.
a perfect 10 is as bob says , "dead centre" with all edges of hole equi distant from the 9 ring once again confirming that the majority of the hole determines score.
this method seems to score consistently through the disc if ive understood correctly.

Buzz, I think you've either got hold of the wrong target, or the wrong size pellet.

If I place a pellet in the center of one of the 5 diagrams on the Air 7 card, I can clearly see the white 9 ring all the way around the pellet. That's how to score a 10.

More than around 1mm from dead center - the pellet will break the 9 ring. Scoring a 9.

As Zooma says - the rules is OUTWARD scoring. He should know, being the competition organiser.

HTH, but if you're still confused, take a photo of yours. And if you like, I'll take a photo of mine
