The DOTW thread is closed, so ...
I've been shooting this on turning targets. It's a great drill that really exposes my weaknesses - speed to the target and shot cadence.
My difficulty is scoring. When I'm pushing the speed on the turning targets, it's rare (not impossible) to get a late hit. Over a big sample, I'd bet you'd find that average scores are lower on turning targets because people won't get the 2- to 5-point "partial credit" for late shots.
So my question is: If you miss (no hole anywhere on the paper), is that actually a -10 off the total score, or just a zero (-10 from possible)? In other words, am I understanding right that scoring goes like this:
Within scoring rings = score as printed
On paper, outside rings = zero (no points but no penalty)
Nothing on paper = -10
Seems like this would make sense in terms of accountability for shots fired. But it's destroying my ego.
