Inspired by RMI George Jones, let’s test your scoring skills. Below is a picture of a target. It shows an A-zone with C-zone below, flanked by no-shoots on both sides. We give you a list of different scoring situations in the poll below. Can you score 100%?
How did you do? I bet most of you aced the Comstock questions, but struggled a little with the Virginia Count questions. Remember that for Virginia Count, you score it like a Comstock target and score the required number of scoring hits, then the misses and no-shoots. And then you score the extra hits. And remember that only extra hits in the scoring target (not the no-shoot or hardcover) are penalized with the extra hit penalty. In this example the hit on the no-shoot was in the non-scoring border (which doesn’t exist) and as a result the hit count on the no-shoot and the scoring target behind it.
Here are the correct answers: 1.) 2 A, 1 NS; 2.) 3A, 1 C, 1 NS; 3.) 2A, 1 NS, 2 EH; 4.) 3A, 1 NS, 1 EH; 5.) 3A, 1 C, 1 NS
If you missed some of of these, don’t get frustrated. Keep practicing!
