Scoring and Results Objectives
ACCURACY: Determine
results accurately

results impartially
SPEED: Providing results as
quickly as possible
RESPONSIBILITY: Scorers are
sports officials who help
determine integrity of sport of
shooting

Basic Scoring Principle
A shot is given the
score of the highest
A shot receives
the score of the
highest
Value scoring
ring it hits
PRES-SH794.PPT
value scoring ring
that is hit or
A shot that
touches a
higher value
scoring ring
receives the
value of that
ring
touched by that
shot hole
Target Scoring Equipment
PRES-SH794.PPT
Scoring Gauges (“plugs”)
Magnifying Glass or Loupe
Good Lighting
Overlay Gauge/Eagle Eye
Target Holder/Scoring Box
Rule Book
Use the Correct Scoring Gauge
PRES-SH794.PPT
Air Rifle:
5.45-5.50mm Outside Gauge
for 10-3 rings,
4.50-4.55mm Inside Gauge
for 1-2 rings & Inner Tens
Smallbore Rifle:
0.3612 in. Outside Gauge for
10 ring
5.6mm Inside Gauge for 1-9
rings
Proper Use of Scoring Gauges
PRES-SH794.PPT
A shot whose value is not
clear must be scored with a
scoring gauge (“plug”)
GAUGE ALL DOUBTFUL
SHOTS!
Keep target horizontal, insert
gauge gently, without
influencing location
Scoring gauges may be
inserted one time only
Correct Method of Scoring Gauged Shots
Scorer reads
gauge from
angle—not
directly
overhead

Use magnifying glass to
accurately read gauge

Gauge
Incorrect angles
for viewing scoring
gauge are shown
by red arrows
Scoring with Outward Scoring Gauges
Outside edge is
TANGENT with outside
edge of scoring ring—
receives higher value
Outside edge of
gauge lies
inside of
outside edge of
scoring ring—
receives higher
value
PRES-SH794.PPT
Outside edge of
gauge lies
inside scoring
ring—receives
higher value
Outside edge
lies outside of
outside edge of
scoring ring-receives lower
value
Scoring with Inward Scoring Gauges
Inside edge of
gauge TOUCHES or
is TANGENT with
outside edge of
scoring ring—
receives higher
value
Inside edge of
gauge does not
touch outside
edge of scoring
ring—receives
lower value
PRES-SH794.PPT
Inside edge of
gauge breaks
outside edge
of scoring
ring—receives
higher value
Scoring Torn Shot Holes
When the shot hole is torn so that accurate gauging is
not possible, the shot hole must be scored with a
scoring template or scoring aid.
Do not insert a scoring gauge in torn shot holes
Use a template or Eagle Eye to reconstruct the true
location of the shot with a torn shot hole
Determine the shot value according to whether the ring
of the template or Eagle Eye touches the scoring ring
PRES-SH794.PPT
Determining and Recording Shot
Values (Method 1)
PRES-SH794.PPT
Scorers work in pairs
Scorer #1 counts hits on targets—determines that it is a regular or
irregular target
Scorer #1 evaluates and records shot values for each target
(bullseye), calls for gauge on doubtful shots
Scorer #2 inserts gauge in each doubtful shot hole
Scorer #1 and Scorer #2 use blind call to decide shot value
Scoring supervisor decides ties
All gauged shots must be marked with “P” and a “+” or “-” to record
the decision
Scorer #2 adds total values of all shots on target, records total on
target
Determining and Recording Shot
Values (Method 2)
PRES-SH794.PPT
Scorers work in pairs—Both scorers evaluate and score targets
Scorers count hits on targets—determine that they are regular or irregular
targets
Scorers evaluate and record shot values for each target (bullseye)
Scorers insert scoring gauges in doubtful shots
If doubtful shots are close, both scorers examine the doubtful shot hole
Both Scorers use blind call to decide shot value of doubtful shots
Scoring supervisor decides ties
All gauged shots must be marked with “P” and a “+” or “-” to record the
decision
Scorers exchange targets to add total values of all shots on target, recheck
scoring of targets
Identifying Regular/Irregular Targets
PRES-SH794.PPT
Shots inside sighter target
guard ring are sighters
All targets must have 10 or
fewer record shots
All shots outside of guard
ring are record shots
Note any comments from
Range Officers
Each bullseye must have
one record shot
Scoring Air Rifle Targets-1
Count hits—determine if target is regular or irregular
Count all hits outside of sighter guard ring, plus any shots reported by
Range Officer (crossfires, early or late shots, off-target misses,
discharges of gas after starting record shots)
If irregular—resolve irregularity
Sighters outside of guard ring—do not score if confirmed by RO
Shots before command START—score, deduct 2 penalty points
Shots after command STOP—score as misses
Multiple shot bulls with 10 or fewer record shots—no penalty for first
two occurrences—2 penalty points for 3rd & subsequent occurrences
More than 10 record shots—assign all shots to a bull, nullify highest
value shot(s) on bulls with more than 1 shot, deduct 2 penalty points
from lowest value shot(s) on the target card
Crossfires—score as misses
PRES-SH794.PPT
Scoring Air Rifle Targets-2
Score all record shots
Check shot hole--write value of each shot beside that bull
Do not score Center Shots
Gauge ALL doubtful shots—insert gauge—let gauge find true
center of shot hole—use correct gauge
TWO SCORERS must read gauge—use blind call
Mark all gauged shots with “P” and “+” or “-”; both scorers must
initial gauged shots
If scorers disagree—leave gauge in shot hole—call Scoring
Supervisor for decision
Total the scores—write total on target
Recheck scoring work—forward target to data entry
PRES-SH794.PPT
Scoring Torn Shot Holes
PRES-SH794.PPT
Do not use scoring gauge to score torn shot holes
(Bluebook: 8.2.5; BB Rule 14.3.1)
Align engraved 4.5mm ring with actual shot hole
Read the outside edge of the engraved ring that same
as a scoring gauge
Record the score—note that a scoring aid was used,
“EE”, both scorers initial
Most Common Scoring Errors
PRES-SH794.PPT
Not gauging all doubtful shots
Using the wrong scoring gauge
Reading the gauge on the wrong side
Not documenting gauged shots
Inconsistent recording of values (+ points vs. – points)
Not positioning target and gauge correctly (lighting)
Not reading gauge carefully (use of magnifying glass)
Not posting preliminary results quickly
Outstanding Scoring Performance
PRES-SH794.PPT
Requires concentration, mental endurance and careful
attention to details
Requires absolute impartiality
Gauge reading is moment of truth for scorers
Always recheck work
Good scorers are never afraid to ask for assistance
Scorers work is sports officiating
A great competition requires great scoring!
