How to score Targets

This video provides a clear, step-by-step guide on how to score standard bullseye targets, specifically the BEA bullseye target. Instructor Daniel explains the point values for each ring (X, 10, 9, 8, 7) and demonstrates how to calculate a total score based on the number of shots fired and their placement. The explanation is practical for anyone participating in marksmanship training or competition.

Quick Summary

Bullseye targets are scored based on the ring a shot lands in. The X-ring and 10-ring are typically worth 10 points each. Subsequent rings like the 9, 8, and 7 are worth progressively fewer points (9, 8, and 7 respectively). The total score is the sum of points for each shot, and the maximum score for a drill is calculated by multiplying the number of shots by 10.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are bullseye targets scored?

Bullseye targets are scored based on the ring a shot lands in. Typically, the innermost rings (X and 10-ring) are worth the most points, usually 10. Subsequent rings (9, 8, 7) are worth progressively fewer points. The total score is the sum of points for each shot.

What is the point value for the X-ring and 10-ring on a bullseye target?

On standard bullseye targets like the BEA target, both the X-ring and the 10-ring are generally worth 10 points per shot. The X-ring is the absolute center and often serves as a tie-breaker.

How do you calculate the maximum score for a shooting drill?

To calculate the maximum score for a drill, multiply the total number of shots you are allowed to fire by the highest possible score per shot. For a drill with 15 shots and a maximum of 10 points per shot, the maximum score is 150 points.

What are the point values for the lower rings on a bullseye target?

For a standard BEA bullseye target, the 9-ring is worth 9 points, the 8-ring is worth 8 points, and the 7-ring is worth 7 points. This means a shot in the 9-ring is 1 point less than a 10-point shot, the 8-ring is 2 points less, and the 7-ring is 3 points less.
