I wanna make use I'm scoring correctly. What is considered a "nick" for 5 pts vs a 10 pt hit? How much of the ball must be inside the target to score it a 10?

thanks
Salty

Post by: Nessmuk on May 02, 2026, 06:02:36 PM: Let's say 50% must be inside. Sound fair?

How bout a hit in the red/yellow colored areas? Basically meaning wings, legs, stinger, antennas, etc are misses.

Glad you're going to shoot both targets. Just stay away from those little bees and only shoot the big bees.

Post by: No Powder on May 03, 2026, 10:28:06 PM: Well I think I'll try the Lyman GPR this month. After seeing Salty's target, I don't think that's the right one to take. But it probably has some cobwebs in the barrel that should be shot out.

Good shooting tom

Post by: No Powder on May 04, 2026, 09:52:26 PM: Thanks Kevin. You might be right but as the target says, I truly don't know. One thing I'm sure of is, considering I only managed to get only 10 on that rat target, I'm thrilled with 30, and the whole target in general. Good luck when you shoot yours.
