Mistral404 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 This happened at a match recently. Two targets were placed one above the other in an overlapping manner. The lower target had an A hit, a hole that broke the perforation in the head B zone and body of the upper target. The upper target had an A zone hit. Three holes in two targets. One hole intersecting both targets. The competitor tried to claim scoring credit on both targets for the hole that broke the perforation. His logic was if it was a No Shoot, he would have been assessed a No Shoot and a Scoring Hit. What do you all think of his logic? I would not allow it.

Shooter Grrl Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If it broke the perf then it scores on both targets. The shooter was 100% right! That is why you will usually see black tape or a no-shoot separating stacked targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stevens Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Absolutely right. The targets are scored as they stand. There may have been only 3 holes, but there were 4 scoring hits. As Shooter Girl stated, bad target arrangement. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If the third round broke the head perforation where it overlapped on the top target --- then yes that round scores on both targets. Better stage design would have seen some hard cover or a no-shoot separating the two targets..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 2 A 1 A 1B Better be nice to him next time if you gave him a Mike he didn't earn Please if youever see stacked target tell the RM to fix it before the match starts. The shooters deserve to have things done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wide45 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Why are the stacked targets a bad thing? No different than a no-shoot. RO's here know how to score them. What is the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Only in the sense that if you use embedded ROs, it's possible that different squads score the same holes differently. It shouldn't happen --- but it can. I personally like shotgun arrays of a plate on top of popper, if you aim right and know where your shotgun throws it's pattern, you can pick up some speed......

Azone41 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Mistral Was this at the Ok lim10/prod sectional match. I remember that happening there. The shooter was scored properly if I recall. Its hard to remember as I was pretty busy as the MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folsoml Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 That is why you will usually see black tape or a no-shoot separating stacked targets. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't have thought of that. I also wouldn't have thought to score it that way. I guess that's why you make the BIG BUCKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
