[Scoring with no-shoot in front of scoring target]

#4 does not extend above the perf.

#4 touches the perf.

Because it touches the perf it therefore touches whatever is behind the perf at that location.

The area behind the perf at that location is the A zone of the underlying target.

Thanks I meant the A zone is extended above the perforation.  I think I understand now, thanks everyone!

In an arrangement like this, pretend like the scoring target is like a hat that is sitting on top of the no shoot. All of the brown target behind the no shoot is effectively non-existant, so #3 and #6 can't be an A, there is no A zone behind the white target.

#4 is an A because it actually touches part of the exposed A zone

Thanks for the explanation... so it only scores if the bullet hole it touching the perforation? in this case #4 get an A because it extends above the no shoot and is touching that perforation?

Go read rule 9.1.5. It explains the superimposed targets.

 

Thanks, I seen that rule but isn't making sense to me.  They are showing in the example above that there are points being scored behind the no-shoot.

 

9.1.5 Impenetrable – The scoring areas of USPSA scoring targets and no-shoots are deemed to be impenetrable:

 

9.1.5.1 If a bullet strikes wholly within the scoring area of a cardboard target and continues on to strike the scoring area of another cardboard target, the hit on the subsequent cardboard target will USPSA Competition Rules January 2019 49 not count for score or penalty, as the case may be.

 

9.1.5.1.1 In accordance with Rule 9.1.5, the scoring areas of scoring targets and no-shoots are impenetrable. Whenever two targets (scoring and/or no-shoots) are in direct contact where one target directly overlaps part of another target, the area of the "under" target which is directly covered by the scoring area of the "over" target and its perforations is deemed to be non-existent.

[Scoring with no-shoot in front of scoring target]

I'm trying to figure out how scoring is done when there is a no-shoot target in front of a scoring target.  In the attached picture from the rule book, it shows some examples but I am confused by some of them.  Can someone explain how they are scored?  How is #3 & #6 not an A, NS but #4 is? also #1 & #8 doesn't score a delta?  I've read the rules and also tried to search for explanation on how a no-shoot is scored but most of the topics is very old and doesn't give me an answer.  Thanks for any help.

[What are you looking at???]

Interested to hear what you guys focus on when there are multiple targets that are close together and you need to transition to quickly.  For instance if doing the B. E. transition drill.  3 targets set up at 7 yards, fairly close to eachother.  Do you just focus on front sight the whole time or do you focus more on the targets and let the sights blur? 

 

I have heard the pros talk about their eyes switching to the next target while the gun is recoiling.  I would find it hard to imagine they are switching their eyes to next target and then swinging the gun over and focus on front sight before taking the next shot, especially at the speed they are going and more so when the targets are pretty much side by side at close range. 

 

I can see transitioning with eyes first and focusing on front sight for targets that are spread far apart or at distance. 

 

Any thoughts?

interesting, seems like kind of a gray area.

[Should USPSA provide a printed rulebook to its members?]

Yes!

[Help me choose a trigger]

Hiperfire 24c!

[Let's talk muzzle brakes... Again]

https://rossbrakes.com/about His brakes are excellent especially for the price, it's hard to beat!

[Auto or Manual]

If only those 2 I would say the 550 but if you can stretch a little more go for at least a 650, you won't regret it! I would take a Hornady AP LnL over a 550

[Brands & Types of Grip Tape?]

I bought the pre-cut from Dawson and it fits perfectly, you could probably use the outer scraps to add to your frame.

[Getting fit?]

Yep your diet  is the main thing, you can get stronger by working out but if you want to lose weight you have to watch how much calories go in.  Easiest is to cut the carbs because fats keep you full longer.

[How often do you shoot?]

I've been trying to go at least once a week and usually take 300 rounds each time to work on drills.  That usually lasts me about 3 1/2 hours.  How much do you usually shoot?

[Keeping Powder in the Press]

Jeez I've never seen that before!  I keep mine in for long periods and just get discoloration.

[How good a shot before starting USPSA?]

Doesn't matter how good you are, you will improve in time.... As long as you can handle the gun safely, that's the main thing.

[What rim fire pistol to start a 10year old on]

Bought a M&P 22 for my son to shoot.  He handles it well and it's not too big or heavy.

[Advice for First Time USPSA Competition]

It's all about having fun.

[Am I too old?]

Never too old!

[Buying a Dillon advice]

Case feeder makes a big difference! I would take that over a bullet feeder if I could only choose one.

[Buying a Dillon advice]

Get at least a 650 or if you can afford it a 1050!

[How accurate are airsoft pistols?]

I have a Beretta GBB and it isn't very accurate past 25 ft, maybe hit a 6 inch circle inside of that.

[When should I go to a big 3 gun match?]

Just go and have fun!

[Do you count your shots?]

Trying to count but sometimes it just goes out the window!

[Do you shoot better when you are with better shooters?]

I think in anything you improve faster when going against better competition.

[Do you warm up before a match? You should!]

Started to go thru some reps before match and it does help with  the nerves.
