HoMiE Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Shot a Virginia Count stage where some of the targets had black hard cover on lower half of target. I hit the hard cover and made up a shot. I was given an extra shot and extra hit penalty. Didn't have rule book so, I tried to argue that the shot into hard cover would be considered a miss, so why is it an extra hit. I should have only been given an extra shot penalty according to this rule correct? 9.4.5.2 Extra hits (i.e. hits on the scoring area of scoring paper targets in excess of the total number specified in the stage), will each incur one procedural penalty. Note that hits on hard cover and/or penalty targets are not treated as Extra Hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Without being there to see what happened, I'd say extra shot penalties -- yes, extra hit penalties -- no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Seems like you were scored incorrectly. Full diameter into the hard cover would be a miss so the extra hit penalty would be an error. Hard to imagine that you had to put forth an arguement at all. Asking the Ro to reflect on this should have been enough.

sfinney Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Its only a hit if its a scoring shot. If its a scoring shot, its not a mike. You could have had extra shot penalties, however, even if none of the extra shots score. Did any of your hits break the line of the black hard cover and brown scoring area, touching both? That way you would have extra shots, and extra hits. Or maybe the R.O. was just confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactiger Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Without being there to see what happened, I'd say extra shot penalties -- yes, extra hit penalties -- no. Absolutely! Extra hits are only counted when you hit a scoring target. Hits on no-shoots are not extra hits, although they are penalized, and hits on hard cover just don't count. You should have been penalized one extra shot, period. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoMiE Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thank you all for your input. As soon as there is an RO class in my neck of the woods, I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
