Scoring of steel plates

This happened to me with a hinged plate at a club match in Frostproof. The RO did not see the plate reset itself, the score keeper was not paying attention (probably reloading), so I was the only person that saw it happen :o . I shot it again and finished the stage. Afterwards, my complaints fell upon deaf ears. That's tough but that's the way it goes sometimes :angry: .

The lesson learned is to check out the stage before shooting and advise a dedicated range official to monitor the situation so that the correct call be made. :)

A fairly simple fix is to tape a wad of paper or folded cardboard to the plate stand where the plate hits the stand.  This dampens the bounce, and rarely will the plate stand back up.

Cool. Thanks for the tip (although, I have yet to see the magic bouncing plates). ;)
