Protocol Question

[Chaffyn]

I tried the 10-Meter standing/unsupported match this past week and found I've
a long way to go.  Then I found this 50' anything-goes match and thought I'd
give it a try.

However, I'm confused about scoring.  Please check out the photo (enhanced to
show shots) and tell me if I'm scoring it correctly.

Unfortunately I was shooting at a plain paper target which tends to tear.  Also, the
target I quickly fabricated is only 1/4" plywood which I put a 1/8" sheet steel behind
so maybe pellets are bouncing back through the target.  Doesn't seem so judging
from the results looked at closely.  Gotta devise a better system for sure.

Anyway, am I scoring correctly?  Two pellets on each target, right?

I'm an old, shaky, half-blind fellow using a bi-pod (on foam) and a three-point brace on the
back end with my lovely TR77 and heck of nice pellets my rifle loves.

Hope this image is readable.

A really simple backstop is a USPS medium flat rate box stuffed full of rags.  Diabolo (wadcutter) pellets will help make nicer holes, too.

Depending on the power of your gun......maybe a couple boxes.

Cheap plastic bags (a lot of them) stuffed in the box, too.

Target sheet taped or pinned on a cardboard and placed in front of a telephone book works for me.

As for your scoring....let's just look at the top row left to right:

14, 14, 17  in my opinion.

Btw...welcome to our target shooting matches.

Thanks, Gamo.  Now I get it.
