hoosierhunter Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've just gotte into this stuff since last fall and I'm a little confused on the scoring system. So I'm looking for a little help. I keep seeing people posting about having "x"s along with there score. Is the scoring different for target versus 3d? From the shoots I did the scores were either 11,10,8, 5,0....15 targets... Just a little help would be nice so I know a little about what I'm talking about. Thanks, Hoosier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Your doing IBO Scoring. An x is the 11 ring. You get 11 points for it, and the X count is only used as a tie breaker. For instance I shoot a 200-12X and you shoot a 200-13X you win. The other rings are all universal in 3d pretty much. 10 ring is the second biggest ring, the 8 is the vital outside the 10, and the 5 is foam. 0 is a miss. Now ASA is a lil different....but I doubt you will be shooting any of those in Indiana so til then I wouldn't sweat them. This help answer your question?

hoosierhunter Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 That helps quite a bit. Also there are different divisions. Like the pro and hunter lines along with traditional and youth. Most of our targets average about 25-35 yards on the hunter division. Does that sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 IBO max yardage is 35 yards for hunter class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Sorry for so many questions but I got another one for you...I think I have .29 pins now and it seems that at 40 and 50 yards my pin is covering the entire dot on the target which I don't like, but at the same time I'm not sure how a .19 pin would affect me in a hunting situation. Do you have a different sized pins for your target and your hunting sights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I hate .29's and use .19's on both my hunting a target setups. It will be different at first, but you'll get used to it. It will tighten your groups up for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Kyle is right about the pins and if it helps you, use a .029 pin on your 20 yard pin for hunting and the rest .019. the further away your target is the larger the pin seems and covers more of it up. Personally I use the same as Kyle in a .019 pin for both my tourney and hunting bow set-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
