How to Score your Target

ISSF 10m Air Rifle Target

Scores for an ISSF 10m Air Rifle target range from 1 to 10. If decimal scoring is used, then each ring is split into 10 levels, allowing a maximum score of 10.9. Shots that miss the 1 ring get a zero.

The black circle extends out to the edge of the 4 ring. The edges of each ring are marked by a 0.2mm line with the outer edge aligned with the diameter of the ring.

The shot just needs to touch the dot in the centre to be counted as a 10. Eclipsing the dot makes it a centre. Inward gauging is used for all rings.

Competitions use .177 Air Rifle pellets and shots are gauged using either a .177 gauge or a special ISSF .177 outward gauge.

Definitions

Official Document: Paper Target Scoring

Inward Gauging: The edge of the bullet that is closest to the centre of the target is used to determine the score of that shot. If the centre of the target falls inside the bullet hole, the displacement is a negative number.

Outward Gauging: The edge of the bullet that is furthest from the centre of the target is used to determine the score of that shot. The displacement of outward gauging is always positive because the furthest edge cannot be closer that the radius of the bullet.

Displacement: The distance between the centre of the target and the edge of the bullet.

Gauge: A device used to measure the scoring edge of the bullet hole. Typically the size of the bullet and placed inside the hole.
