SCORING RECAP

Scoring

Destroys

• There are 50 target exposures. In order to achieve a destroy a shooter must have at least one of their rounds from that iteration in either destroy zone.

• 500 yd sustained fire and 300-100yd line controlled pairs: Are scored as destroy or miss.

• Movers - 100 & 200 yard lines: Will be scored as destroy or miss, the scoring zone is the entire target. The target is the same reduced size silhouette as table 2.

• Head Shot – 25 yard line: Only rounds in the Face-Destroy zone will count as a destroy.

• The highest shot value is what's used to score the target. For Example: One round in the Suppressed zone and one round in the Destroy zone equals a destroy because the highest value is a destroy.

ScoringDrills

• There are a total of 10 drill presentations. This does not add to the total score. Drills are graded as pass or fail. In order to pass a drill a shooter must have all of their rounds in the correct Destroy zones.

• Drills passed are scored as a Destroy

• There are three different types of drills:

• Failure to stop (FTS): Two rounds to the “D”, one round in the “FD”

• Box Drill (Box): Two rounds to left tgt “D”, two to right tgt “D”, one round in right tgt “FD”, and one round in left tgt “FD”.

• Failure-to- Stop-While-Moving (FTSM): A FTS while closing with the target from 25-15 yd.

• If any one round is outside the appropriate zone the drill is scored as a miss. Example: on a failure to stop drill if two rounds are in the chest Destroy zone and the headshot is not in the Face-Destroy zone the drill will be scored as a Miss.
