We run a charity 3 gun match every year which draws a lot of casual shooters who aren't familiar with scoring targets and since we have so many shooters a fast and easy scoring method makes things go much faster and is easier on the RO's and scorers. I also want it to be fast and fun for the casual, nervous first timer so I want generous scoring zones.
I want the RO to be able to score a target at a fast walk without doing much math and just call out whether it's neutralized or not.
I'm looking for some fast and easy scoring ideas for USPSA targets that differentiate between major/minor calibers on both handgun and rifle.
We're doing "Time Plus (points)" scoring with Practiscore this year.
Right now we're thinking to neutralize paper:
Major pistol: 2 hits anywhere on paper.
Minor pistol: 2 hits anywhere in the A/B/C.
Major rifle: 1 A/B/C hit or two anywhere.
Minor rifle: 1 A/B hit or two anywhere.
I'm thinking about limiting magazine capacities to:
20 for minor pistol, 15 for major pistol
30 for minor rifle, 20 for major rifle
I think the pistol scoring is pretty fair.
Is this too much advantage for major rifle vs. minor considering the capacity limits?
What if I keep the rifle stages to 21-25 rounds or 41-50 rounds?
Failure to neutralize is +10 seconds per target.
No shoots are +15 seconds per (maybe +20, but that seems to kill peoples scores too easily in a casual match)
Procedurals are +5 seconds per.
Ideas, thoughts?
Is it even worth differentiating between major/minor in a casual match?
