    GPR Events has had similar issues with small calibre hits on the larger, longer range targets being difficult to score and we are taking steps to avoid this in future events - of course we don't have their prize table either and this is one of the reasons why not.

    Absolutely the magnum calibres allow for a greater margin for error in your wind calling ability and improve the reaction of a target to a hit but as a competitor I would be a bit pissed on the day to have my final placing determined (in part) by hits not being recorded.
    Hey Gillie, the organisers already order 3 strobe light/visual scoring system for the longest shots, they hope it will improve the problems in the last year event.
    I will keep you guys posted if I learn anything more.
    @mitch00 we may have shared dinner table after this year event... 😎
