Effective from 2008 the Kill-zones and scoring will change as indicated below
3D and 2D Targets
The 3D targets have smaller Kill zones which come into use.
The 2D paper targets do not have an additional zone. Until such time that the printers can update the 2D targets, tournament presenters will have to draw the circle/smaller kill zone onto the 2D targets.
The new kill zone on 2D targets are the same size as that used for the 'spot' on the field targets and it will be placed in the exact centre of the old larger kill zone.
o Group 4 targets will have a new 4cm kill zone as per the 20cm 'bunny' field target.
o Group 3 targets will have a new 7cm kill zone as per the 35cm field target.
o Group 2 targets will have a new 10cm kill zone as per the 50cm field target
o Group 1 targets will have a new 13cm kill zone as per the 65cm field target.
Scoring, Qualifying scores and records
Scoring is revised to count:
- 10 points for the new smaller kill zone, now called the KILL Zone
- 8 points for the larger/old kill zone and, now called the VITAL Zone
- 5 for a wound area as before and still called the WOUND Zone
Below is a diagram that indicates how the new kill zones will fit into the old, for each group - so that we are all clear on how targets will be adjusted.
- The Circle is first drawn with a ' white pen ' example a 'TYPEX correction fluid pen' and then a thin Black ink line into this circle - so that on black parts of the target the scoring line is visible.
-
It is the Province's responsibility to ensure all 2D targets are correctly marked for each event held in that province. (We will try to get the printers to make the changes asap so that this manual step won't last too long. )
- Qualifying scores for Provincial and National colour will be revised and records set will also be replaced with scores from the new format.
