99% of our TMA Targets are scored in the following manner... Study this carefully; :shake

Thanks, Joe. I feel much more confident scoring my own targets now.

Inquiring minds need to know, doncha know, but I see these targets are available at Walmart. Wondering if the targets are printed in China?
Just asking, that's all.

No doubt they are printed in China, John... Doesn't matter in our case since it's just used as an instructional tool to score our targets under NRA scoring rules. It makes for a good visual learning prop... :bl th up

Here's my May, 2020 smoothbore PM target. As I'm not sure of how to score it (no numerical values for the rings on TMA- XX-1B), I attach a photo of it.

Hello Maven, good to hear from you :shake
I believe I'm seeing; 10x 9 9 6 = 34-1x
I'll posted your score. :bl th up

Thanks Joe! :bl th up Btw, that low first shot may have been due to a slight hangfire, or as I'm now coming to realize, a too clean ( LOL!) barrel. To wit, if I don't damp swab the bbl. after say 5 shots, I'm likely to get hangfires. The trick, I suppose, is to take a fouling shot, and then fire 5 for record. Btw, before I shot [at] that target, I tried 5 shots from a rest + rear bag: The resulting group was impressive, but ~4" too low. ;banghead;

Those smooth-bores can be finicky, but even with that flyer, I couldn't even come close to your target on my best day. Nice shooting Maven! :bl th up
